    In reply to Bill Keller: 'No Further Newsroom Staff Cut Planned or Foreseen' at the New York Times
    How's Keller's optimism going over with the NYT's recently departed? As expected, not so well. One emails:

    this is the same full-of-shit memo that he sent out after the last round of cuts, as i'm sure everyone is well aware.

    nowhere does keller mention the Guild arbitration that the paper lost on Monday - over the severance conditions of the last round of layoffs - a decision that the paper finally allowed to happen, after a year and a half of dicking around legally, because they couldn't begin this year's layoffs without having settled last year's first.

    i'm so happy to hear he was cheered and saddened by the speeches made by employees made to walk the plank. apparently the masthead was very very unwelcome at those farewell parties in the newsroom. how many glasses were raised for the laidoff, do you imagine?

    and by the way - how's jill abramson's puppy?! that's what everyone really wants to know!

    In reply to Google Attempting to Swallow Trashy-Tasting Yelp
    Will Google exacerbate or correct the local review site's worst tendencies, which have brought extortion allegations, porny bacchanals and physical violence?

    Or, as we call it at my house, "Tuesday."

    Dear Bill Keller,

    Please tell your publisher to stop selling the entire front page of your sister publication, The International Herald Tribute, to Rolex.

    Love,

    Bart

    In reply to Martha Stewart Gang-Related Drug Conspiracy Caught on Tape
    Bloomy is doing radio promos for the all-news AM station in Toronto, identifying himself only as founder of Bloomberg Media. I think the station must have recently signed with Bloomberg for business news reports.

    I guess in the third term, anything goes.

    At this point, Bloomy should be reminding all media types that the MTA gave out raises. Allen Sorkin, train conductor!

    What a shame to hear about Christine Hauser. I know she recently became pregnant, few months ago maybe. I believe she was on maternity leave.

    @If_I_Had_a_Poodle: Yeah, I would think so. But I know for a fact that she was pregnant at some point in the past three months. And if you do a search under her byline on the Times site, it shows that she went from writing on an almost daily basis to suddenly writing almost nothing at all beginning in October (about two and a half months ago).

    Can I just get a little love for being the one to label Salkin the Seymour Hersh of the Style Section?! I'm kinda proud of that one.
