This video of solemn, disgruntled, baffled, clueless NEW YORK TIMES writers — bitching about losing their coveted guaranteed defined benefit (DB) pension plan — looks like something the ONION would have produced — only the NY TIMES version is funnier. It’s worth a viewing.
“I’ll be eating cat food”? Living in “cardboard boxes”??
CAUTION: Don’t eat less than 60 minutes before watching. You’ve been warned!
It’s really hard for those of us who live outside the liberal bubble to realize how TOTALLY out of touch progressives are with fiscal reality. It seems like all those interviewed in this video live together in a hermetically sealed room, feeding off each others’ thoughts and opinions.
Everyone who still looks to the NY TIMES as a source of news needs to understand who is WRITING that news. And it shows — both in the paper’s bias and the plummeting readership.
New York Times writers make classic crybaby video!

Watching people grasp the reality of the economic situation is tough. I had to do it 4-5 years ago but without the safety net a “Guild” member has. The difference is that I could only “blame” the customers which is counter-productive.
The Times writers would do well to understand that it’s not “management” who is “devaluing” them; it’s the readers. Woe betide them if they start blaming the people who actually pay their bills
Wow. This is like watching little children, shielded from the facts of grown-up life, but these are apparently grown-ups who are finally having to real with reality and taking responsibility for themselves.
Heck, my children have more sense of reality around them than these clowns. Yes, you have to plan for your own future. Yes, you have to save and invest – just like everyone else.
Richard described it best when he compared the video clip to something from The Onion. Yes kids, time to leave your parents’ basement!
And to think these folks are the ones writing articles for the public to read. Mindboggling. I was waiting for David Brooks to appear but he’s probably busy writing more fantasy articles…
We should all take up a collection for the oppressed New York Times journalists — of cans of cat food.
Bradley, we could send them some cat food, but perhaps they’d be better served if we sent them a subscription to the Wall Street Journal.
Right on D7!

Making NY TIMES writers read the WS JOURNAL Opinion page would be cruel and unusual punishment.
And ultimately fruitless.
