Gail Shister Tries To Make Us Believe Her TV Column Will Be Missed
Sadly, the economic realities of the newspaper business are such that the staff of The Inquirer, my journalistic home for 27 years, has been hard hit by layoffs and buyouts.
We no longer have the bodies to cover every beat as we did in the past.
To this reporter, it means The Inquirer doesn’t have the luxury of a daily, staff-written column about TV. Other areas are hurting, too, and their need for reporters is even more dire.
Wait, I’m confused. Is she trying to say that there are more important subjects than TV that we are missing out on? For sure she doesn’t mean that.
UPDATED: Upon further consideration, the above really should have read (in Artie Lange’s voice) “Wahhhh, I still have a job, waaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh, I still get to write about TV. Whahhhhhh”

There’s a war going on, brothers and sisters. The latest rumblings at CBS News will have to wait.
Your headline could not have been more accurate. Stop your sobbing.

You are such a dick.
I wonder if YOU’LL still be doing this stupid thing in 27 yrs.
I doubt it.
Gail’s done a great job for a long time. I’ll miss her.
