As a rule, this editor does not cheer when others are laid off, especially in the world of media. THAT being said, this editor also does NOT have much sympathy if any for the people who have spent years (decades) pretending they are somehow untouchable as members of THE PRESS while reporting stories in ways that supported their narrative or agenda.
Activists instead of journalists.
So while we're not cheering, we are enjoying the schadenfreude and meltdowns with a large bucket of popcorn.
Especially when we see self-owns like this one from Kat Tenbarge.
People cheer on media layoffs but don’t come crying when your local AI fake news bot starts falsely reporting you were arrested for something and you get fired and there are no real journalists left to cover your plight! Or when there’s a local disaster or corruption!

She just basically said, YOU'LL BE SORRY.
Yeah, no.
Oh, you miss having real sources of information? You miss having a sense of what’s real and what’s fake as technology to create fake things rapidly accelerates? You think news on social media isn’t 1000x more unreliable and incentivized by rage and profit? Pity, that.

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
Wow.
Sorry, but THAT is hilarious. You'll all be SORRY since when all of those 'real sources of information' aren't available to you anymore.
Man, her tweets prove she and the rest of the mainstream media just don't get it.
Perhaps this dismissive and condescending attitude is what drove the customer base from disinterest to hostility.

No "real" journalists do anything anymore, other than chasing leads on twitter, reposting lies from the internet, or publishing leaks they know are falsehoods. No one will miss any of you.

Lol you are revealing either the level of your siloing or the level of your dishonesty. There is no third option.

We aren't watching the end of journalism; we are watching the end of Truman Show capture. Keep wailiing. Expose yourself for us all to see.🍿https://t.co/47Gb390DNv
We've got our popcorn as well.
Gee, Kat, another article on how being on time is racist? Who can go through life without those poignant reminders of professional journalism?
— Tom Buckley (@BullheadRanch) January 26, 2024
What will we do without a bunch of journalists telling us how racist we are for not being complete failures in life? THE HORROR.
Lmao, you suck.

Accurate.
This has already happened to me & the media helped power frame the story in a way that was beneficial to them. Think you guys forget, a lot of folks have had really bad first hand experiences with media covering trauma in their lives
— Paul Gackle (@GackleReport) January 25, 2024
Yup.
You’re right, of course — I’ve had bad first hand experiences trying to cover them! But these layoffs are not paving the way for something better, they’re ensuring something far worse. Rather than reform media, it’s being destroyed and replaced with even worse alternatives.
— Kat Tenbarge (@kattenbarge) January 25, 2024
Can't get any worse than the lamestream media.
Sorry, not sorry.
