Robert ReichNorfolk Southern boosted shareholder payouts by 4,500% over the past 20 years — hitting $4.7 billion in stock buybacks and dividends in 2022.
During that same time, the company cut nearly 10,000 jobs — reducing its workforce by 33%.
Corporate greed at its absolute worst.

We are dropping the Dilbert comic strip because of creator Scott Adams’ racist rant: Letter from the Editor
this is a decision based on the principles of this news organization and the community we serve. We are not a home for those who espouse racism. We certainly do not want to provide them with financial support.
Jay RosenThe power structure at Fox called it "respecting" the audience when they stoked its false and pathetic belief in a stolen election.
"Showing 'respect' to viewers by actively misinforming them," as Stelter put it, may stop them from raging at you.
But it is not the behavior of a news company. 15/

I repeatedly begged MSNBC on MSNBC to start a feature: ‘We watch Fox so you don’t have to’ (which might be why I haven’t been on lately). So from my @newmarkjschool center, I funded Juliet Jeske to start @DecodingFoxNews: to show us what Fox is--and is not--telling its audience.
Dan GillmorWhat can/should Big Journalism do? For starters:
-- Fox "News" and its employees should be kicked out of any press organization or association in which they hold official status or membership.
-- News organizations that care about journalistic integrity should announce publicly that they will not hire from Fox.
Treating Fox as a legitimate news organization should have ended long ago. Better late than never, but if the craft won't do the right thing now, it never will.
If Big Journalism doesn't start treating the Murdoch family's poison-spewing Fox "News" like the rogue propaganda-for-power-and-money outfit that it is, the craft will demonstrate its utter contempt for journalistic ethics.
The Fox-McCarthy partnership is one of the most egregious examples yet -- and simply covering it as just another story is not nearly enough.
The times grow more and more dangerous, and Big Journalism is not up to the job -- yet. https://www.cnn.com/2023/02/20/politics/kevin-mccarthy-tucker-carlson-january-6-footage/index.html
