The Woes Continue at The Sun

Everyone knows that The Baltimore Sun lays off 10% of it's workers ever week. It's really become evident in their print addition. Gone are the days of the multi-sectioned newspaper containing relevant articles written by Baltimore writers. Here today are is the 8-page paper written by out-of-town writers from the AP about events that you could care less about.

Now, it has become evident that not only has the print edition suffered, but now the online edition is suffering. I suspect they fired their layout editor. I mean, who needs to check the layout to make sure it's proper anyway? That's like keeping those pesky home inspectors on the government payroll.

So here is the layout from an article this morning. If you are really enthusiastic about the poll on the left side of the page, you get to answer it a second time on the right section a few inches down. Perhaps The Sun is just being generous. But I suspect they are continuing their stupidity. Or Martin O'Malley made them do it and we all know that when Marty says jump, editors at The Sun say, "How high?"
