Sources close to the Big Metal Shed on the Hill indicate that yesterday five additional employees in the advertising department were eliminated/cut/reduced/expelled from the Big Metal Shed on the Hill. Our sources indicate that the revenues are way down and management can’t figure it out.

Our sources also indicate that the rates are 25 to 30% higher that other Scripps papers. Well, there’s a problem, Mr. Hartmann.
