The Associated Press "appears to be flailing and desperate, chasing trends that soon disappear," according to the News Media Guild as the not-for-profit cooperative cuts staff amid a pivot to prioritizing video and a flirtation with AI.
@newsguyusa I wish I could hire all these people - they are so needed, there are so many out of work.

Dayum, I remember when UPI went bust.
Hellen Thomas was a regular at a little middle eastern restaurant near the south end of the Duke Ellington bridge. Nothing especially notable about the place, aside from having one customer who everyone in America recognized from the evening news, even if they couldn't name her.

@newsguyusa I'm really glad I'm old. I won't have to put up with this bullshit much longer. I feel bad for young people. I would not wish this world on any of you kids.
