What a bunch of cry babies. Now that the newspapers are going through what the rest of us have been dealing with for decades all of a sudden its big news. There are hardly any news articles about US companies replacing American workers with 65,000 H1B visa temporary workers each year and that is not even counting the L1 visas. Journalists callously wrote articles about how poor foreigners need those jobs. Well where are the articles about how the outsourcing in the news industry is good and helps poor immigrants get jobs. As far as I’m concerned, the current downsizing/outsourcing going on in the news industry is some much needed bitter medicine for the out of touch media.

They all have serious doubts about their long term career prospects. Most of them can’t be certain they’ll have a job in 6 months. I worry about living in a world in which journalism has been reduced to the reporting of press releases.
