As Twitchy readers may have heard, there has been some great news out of the dead legacy media this week. More cuts are coming to the bastion of left-wing narratives, The Washington Post. While there has been no official announcement yet, the rumors are that as much as 30 percent of the newsroom may be slashed, including the sports and foreign desk departments.
And there was much rejoicing!
The situation is so dire that WaPo staffers are trying to recruit -- wait for it -- Hollywood actors to try to help save their jobs.
No, we are not making this up. Here is Tom Shillue having a much-deserved laugh at this desperation tactic.
As funny as Shillue is, though, we found an even funnier reaction to the impending doom coming to WaPo. It came from the unlikeliest of sources: Chris Cillizza and Chuck Todd.
Earlier this week, these two epitomes of everything that is wrong with the legacy media jumped up on their high horses to BLAST WaPo for what it let itself become.
This is kind of like Ted Bundy criticizing Jeffrey Dahmer for his technique. But it made for an unintentionally hilarious video clip.
