The Winston-Salem Journal said yesterday that it will cut 12 employees to offset lost revenue caused by the current economic climate.
The reductions will be across several departments, including advertising prepress, finance and syndicated marketing services. The majority of the cuts affect employees who put together local advertisements for the newspaper.

WASHINGTON – U.S. Rep. Virginia Foxx, R-5th, introduced a bill Wednesday to cut in half the $700 billion Wall Street bailout package.
Under the program, which was designed to shore up the financial system by allowing the government to buy toxic mortgage-backed securities, the Treasury Department has injected nearly $290 billion into troubled banks.

We don’t know when the Winston-Salem Journal got half a brain, but maybe they found one while they were trying to find out why their sales are so far down. Anyhowsomeever, they just endorsed John McCain for President and we are flabbergasted!
Election ‘08: President
“The Journal sides with McCain because he better suits this newspaper’s underlying editorial philosophy of limited government intrusion into the lives of American citizens, low taxes and fiscal responsibility. There is nothing in the character of Obama that makes us think he is unfit to be president. To the contrary, we admire much about the man. We just disagree with the course upon which he is likely to lead this nation.”
