According to Tell Zell the "Retch" says: "We've been focused on our work for the past five years. We've won Pulitzer prizes, brought down politicians and alerted our readers to corruption, crime and fast breaking news. What has that nose-to-the-printing-press work ethic brought us? The departure of 150 of our colleagues, beginning today." In other words, we journalists are marvelous and have done everything perfectly, yet still we suffer rank injustice. The all too familiar, inexhaustible tale of good v. evil, innocence v. corruption, virtue v. vice, smart v. dumb, nice v. mean, left v. right, labor v. capital, progressive v. reactionary. Before too long, there will be thousands of A list veteran journalists unemployed---along with millions of others suffering through this recession. And how many of these journalists, and how many of their mega-rich supposed sympathizers will actually risk their own money and their own time and their own resumes and their own reputations to start papers that can supposedly be profitable? We all know the answer to that. The Tell Zell Blog post is rather informative.

Before too long, there will be thousands of A list veteran journalists unemployed—along with millions of others suffering through this recession.

And how many of these journalists, and how many of their mega-rich supposed sympathizers will actually risk their own money and their own time and their own resumes and their own reputations to start papers that can supposedly be profitable?

We all know the answer to that.
