Newspapers LLC is filing for bankruptcy. The circumstances surrounding the bankruptcy did not occur over night. They saw this comming yet the chief executive and two vice presidents voted themselves 30%+ raises in Dec 08. All three positions are paying almost twice the national average salary. Yet these three hogs knowing the paper is collapsing are going to gorge themselves on bailout money. Fortunately, this was exposed in bankruptcy court and the three little pigs got caught. They stated that the are surrendering their raises. Tierney a staunch Republic activist has flipped. The new American way. fail at business get a bailout and get a raise. Shades of Wall St. Reality.. to the Phila Newspapers investors get rid of the dead weight at the top. Tierney's back ground is public relations not the newspaper business. There are plenty of qualified editors that would accept the job and perform competently at the national average or below.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
