NPR cuts 10 % of staff, names Haaga acting CEO   
Source: USA Today

NPR on Friday said it plans to cut 10% of tits staff through voluntary buyouts and announced it has named board member Paul G. Haaga as acting CEO..

Haaga, 64, will replace Gary Knell, who announced last month his plans to step down to become CEO of the National Geographic Society. Haaga will assume the new role on Sept. 30.

Haaga has been on the board of the media organization since 2011, most recently as its vice chair and chair of the finance committee.

NPR said the buyout plan, which will be applied "broadly across the organization," was needed to eliminate a deficit and lower expenses. NPR has about 840 employees.

4. And the new CEO is a Wall Streeter.

That should insure NPR does not get out of line.
They should have hired a community organizer.

5. NPR is a shell of what it used to be.  :orly: What was it before? A non-partisan news network?

Anybody who can't see the republican and corporate influence over it now is blind. You, are as stupid as a plant. You name is fitting.

16. Unfortunately, For who?

Pacifica is also hitting hard times. They laid off a bunch of staff too recently. Another scAir America success story.

Maybe they need to hire Olberdouche.
Ya, that's the ticket.

John Adams warned in a letter, “Remember democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet, that did not commit suicide.”

I'm very interested in this concept of "tits staff".  I've never heard of such a thing but, I think it could be a real plus for my business.

I guess that would depend on how high it registers on the Denise Milani Scale.

Liberal thinking is a two-legged stool and magical thinking is one of the legs, the other is a combination of self-loating and misanthropy.  To understand it, you would have to be able to sit on that stool while juggling two elephants, an anvil and a fragmentation grenade, sans pin.
