Christina Pushaw, rapid response director for Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, is having a difficult time feeling any pity for Miami Herald employees who were recently laid off by the local news outlet.
A user named One Herald Guild took to Twitter to voice their disapproval of the situation, claiming that the layoffs will mean that many big stories, specifically those related to the growing Miami tech scene, will go uncovered.
They want to eliminate people who handle page design, copy editing, research, tech coverage and creation of online interactive projects.
These are experienced, hard-working colleagues who make our journalism stronger every day.

On top of that, we are now left without a reporter dedicated to Miami’s booming tech scene. Big stories in Miami will be missed. Combined with the still-vacant tourism position, we’re left with a bare-bones business team to cover a massive beat.

We hope the company is willing to work with us and provide necessary information to explore alternatives to the layoffs that take effect later this week. So far, they’ve been slow and unresponsive.
The company wants to put 6 journalists out of work and call that an improvement.

Despite the sky-is-falling tone adopted by the tweets, Pushaw just couldn’t muster any tears.
“Try doing journalism. Nobody wants to pay you for your left wing political activism, we hear that all day for free,” she responded.

It would appear she isn’t the only one who has been underwhelmed by the Miami Herald’s reporting:
If you actually practiced journalism then this would be sad. HOWEVER, you just spread democrat talking points, smear republicans and editorialize, so it’s actually a happy day.

I have never heard Miami Herald and journalism mentioned in the same sentence.

Honestly can’t blame them. Miami Herald writers have been doing everything in their power to drive readers and subscribers away for some time now.

Here’s a tip to prevent this in the future: Try journalism instead of propaganda.

I’d like to feel sorry for you, but your paper has become an embarrassment. You aren’t journalists. You are Pravda for the latest leftist tropes.

The thing is there’s very little journalism anymore, it’s political activism, who the hell wants to pay you to be an activist, you can get you a sign marching the streets and do that for free
