It is always a good day when a bunch of lefties are sent packing. Now, they can get in line for all of the 0bama handouts that they think are so great.

A liberal progressive finally faced with the reality of a failed liberal progressive magazine and firing other liberal progressives before X-Mas. Priceless.

So Newsweek staff, how´s that reality sandwich from Obama tasting?

Signed "Tina & Baba"?

Went and looked up Baba. It´s CEO Baba Shetty.

Fitting, though a strange spelling for this occasion...

I did the same thing, #4. Turns out, ´´Baba´´ Shetty was named Newsweek/Daily Beast´s CEO September 19, 2012.

So, Tina and ´´Baba´´ fire the help and get a pass - again - from being classified as those evil, greedy, capitalists. It must be nice to be a Democrat.

As James Taranto would say - this is the Bottom Story of the Day. Have a good one.

But Mz Scrooge, it´s Christmas Eve!

God bless us, everyone!

Jobless benefits are the best stimulus there is according to Chuckie Schumer. Now the Newsweek unemployed are finally contributing to Obamas booming economy
.And they are " happy holidays" people...not Merry Christmas people. Christmas sympathy does not apply.

Lefty loudmouths are forever being exposed for who they are: Capitalists (mostly the crony variety) who have gotten their share and more of the wealth while enthusiastically promoting the socialist agenda for everyone else. Instead of sharing their wealth by redistribution, they immediately start firing the underlings. Why isn´t their first thought to take from their own salaries and give it to their employees all for the common good, of course. Share the wealth, baby!

Meanwhile, the staff and excellent reporters at Breitbart.com are alive and well, and -yep- working.

There may be a correlation to the fact that Breitbart.com reports this story while the unfortunate Newsweek folk pack up the Obobblehead dolls and the pictures of their kids, but I doubt the Newsies will grasp it.

Guess that they´ll all be trading in their Blackerries for Obamaphones.

Mrs Brown, you´ve got a fugly daughter.

dear santa[aka-bo] will come to the rescue.

AND -- the obama/economy just keeps giving and giving during the CHRISTMAS season.....

Lots a luck out there.....

LZK

The lefty journalists are getting a much needed economic reality check and a little payback for their lies protecting this tyrant. Good riddance no sympathy here.

Why should this time of the year make the downsizing any worse than any other time? Only wingnuts make a big deal out of Christmas. And I´m sure Newsweek´s staff are all looking forward to the adventures they´ll have living on unemployment checks. The food stamps they get will be awesome as well. Just think - they supported Obama as working folk; now they can support him as members of the 47%!

/I suppose I should add a disclaimer for the sarcasm impaired.

Brown & Shetty should fire themselves for running a magazine that´s broke, brown and shetty.

Same thing ought to be happening at Time, NYT, Boston Globe and WaPo.

Well, thank goodness T. Brown didn´t threaten to take away those employees health care or the MSM might get upset...

Good one, #17!

Come on, Nolte, these are Lefties -- I´m sure none of them could care less about Christ´s birth -- although being fired will probably put a damper on their participation in the parties and buying sprees associated with the secular "holiday" celebrated in tandem with Christmas.

Meanwhile, Tina has undoubtedly reduced her staff levels to below 50 employees, thus relieving Newsweek from the burdens of Obamacare, which I´m sure she and all her employees supported wholeheartedly.

That being said, I doubt even this will save Newsweek.

How many of these people have spouses who will lose their health insurance and then die of cancer in a few years? Oh, the humanity!!!!

"Hope and Change"...you asked for it...you got it.

Seems whatever Tina takes charge of crashes, yet the left continues to tell how smart she is. I suggest she next be put in charge of the New York Times.

All campaign staff gets fired after the election is over.

Ninety-nine channels with nothing to watch - ninety-nine weeks with nothing to do.

This was THE tradition with the publisher I worked for in Denver. For eight years, the Friday before Christmas was known as Black Friday (long before the retail chant began)

If you survived the layoffs and terminations, you were invited to the Christmas Party.

Rot begins at the top.

The ad agency I was laid off from (twice) routinely has layoffs just before Christmas. That wasn´t my experience either time, but layoffs are part of its "holiday tradition."

Tina looks positively wicked in that photo.

Any employee who casts his lot with and expects security from a job with a company which sold for $1 is a damned fool who needs a wake up call. They got one.

Merry Christmas.

I loathe Newsweek AND Brown, the overage groupie, regardless of what magazine she´s working. Get out of my country, Brown; go back to the UK.

Happy Winter Solstice, commie journOlisters!

Tina will be in full force to try to force Hillary down our throats in 2016. Friend of the Clinton´s - she is slime.

Several MSM & hollywood enterprises will go out of business this year; Obama no longer needs their tyoe of paid propaganda... He thinks he´s in control now.

An investigation into the finances of the most devisive movies & news reports will reveal a trail of taxpayer funds funneled to them.

No surprise that this is being done. Tina will be fine, though. Remember, she´s a friend of Bill & Hill.

A true liberal should have no faith and abhor the festivities associated with Christmas, thus the timing of this announcement should have no affect on them or their families, if they have one. Its just another month, week, and day, nothing special. If anyone complains about the timing they are exposed for the hypocrites they are.

Oh the irony of their names!!!

#12, LOL...I will have that song going through my head all day now!

#1, I am afraid that it won´t all be lefties who are fired. I wouldn´t be surprised if there are more than a few employees who are not really leftists at all...they are just there for the paycheck.

Mission accomplished. Obama got re-elected now everyone is begging for a presidential appointment for something. They are all avoiding the costs of obamacare and higher taxes.

Another example of how the left eats its own.

Going on unemployment for these unaccomplished Jackwagons is probably considered a lateral move as well as a resume enhancer for tugging at the heartstrings of other prospective liberal lemming employers while waiting for the next election cycle to come around!

Hmmmm. Are they afraid to say it is because of the obamacare kickin?
