Something very sad about WSJ doing massive layoffs the day a former president gets convicted of crimes first uncovered by excellent WSJ journalists

One of many WSJ layoffs: Ben Kesling was a US Marine infantry officer who served in Iraq & Afghanistan. As an award-winning WSJ reporter for 10 yrs, he was shot at, tear-gassed and spat on. Ben tells me he was laid off "in less time than it takes to microwave a Salisbury steak."

WSJ has been doing rolling layoffs of journalists this year and now is doing a multi-million dollar brand campaign including billboards, TikTok and "high impact digital signs." C'mon. axios.com/2024/06/03/wsj…

We read Dylan Byers piece on some recent goings-on at @wsj and decided it could benefit from the kind of fact-checking that we here at the Journal take very seriously. Fair and accurate, that's our style! Let's take a look: 🧵

To start, Byers downplays the number of staffers who participated in IAPE TNG/CWA 1096's actions on Thursday by using 'several'. There were more than 150 people in-person and another 100+ people joining in online. x.com/IAPE1096/statu…

.IAPE TNG/CWA 1096's board has authorized a strike vote, and union members have been organizing towards it. Thursday’s action is part of an escalation campaign to get the contract we deserve—reducing it to "a kindergarten arts-and-crafts installation" is uninformed mischaracterization.

Today marks a week since my layoff from the WSJ, which has been my professional home for a decade. I already miss working with my colleagues. Many are like family, including the ones cut with me: @acaldwellwsj Ben Kesling Surya Bhattacharya Adolfo Flores Shannon Talal Ansari Christine Mai-Duc 🧵

America’s polarized politics often lead us to think of the nation in terms of red and blue, but the country's voter pool is made up from many different ideological camps. Take our survey to find out which one best describes you. on.wsj.com/3yXQU13 on.wsj.com/3yXQU13

NEW: Billionaire Elon Musk has created a PAC collecting voter data from those living in key states through an online "register to vote" form that does not directly register people to vote. All of this in an effort to help Donald Trump become president. cnb.cx/3A9hEMv
