That’s the rumor being knocked around over at McClatchy Watch.

I frankly cannot believe that could be true. No one could possibly be that out-of-touch. In any event, the Uptown paper has inexplicably been left hanging during this current round of coast-to-coast layoffs by McClatchy. If those laid-off are to be given two weeks notice, acting next week would technically carry them over to the next quarter, something this round of cuts was not supposed to do.

Stay tuned.
