Good thing they're so worried about costs that they just sent a reporter and photographer to New Mexico for two days for a human feature story. Give me a break.
good riddance. the sooner the seattle times collapses, the sooner we can stop pretending that the that pos adds value to our community. and also, the sooner we can start dealing w/ the fact that the news industry effectively no longer exists.
Looks like "The Will of the People" -- as Joni gobbles about the income tax -- is making itself felt in a more direct way in declining citizen interest in purchasing her newspaper.

@12: You are a fool. Investigative stories in the Times have saved lives and changed laws for years around here. Don't mistake the editorial page for the efforts of the many talented reporters they have.
@14 hey asshole, fuck you too! and fuck the times. and fuck the entire newspaper industry. they have failed us utterly as have all of the institutions in our society. let them die so that something else can be reborn.
Surely we can find some middle ground, @14 and @15, and hope out-of-touch and defensive opinion/editorialists at the Seattle Times are among the "walking people."

I think you accidentally a word.
Couldn't we just retrain them as Iranian CIA drone pilots?
