Extra glad now that I forgot to renew my KCStar digital subscription.
Newspaper conglomerate McClatchy—the hedge fund-owned publisher that owns local outlets across the country—wants to *aggressively* implement A.I. into its newsrooms, w/proposals that have stunned the union.

@nataliekorach.bsky.social has the scoop in @status.news: www.status.news/p/mcclatchy-...
McClatchy’s Machine Mindset
A recent meeting with McClatchy executives left union leaders stunned and deeply alarmed about how the company wishes to implement A.I. in the newsroom, Status has learned.

If you have a KC-area business and you’re trying to plan — or wondering if you can plan — after today’s tariff announcement, drop me a line. I’d love to hear from you.

The Kansas City Star's coverage of today's #MarchForDemocracy leads off with:
"Thousands gathered to “March for Democracy” in downtown Kansas City ... " and "passionate protesters, ... bellowed chants that echoed off the concrete sky-rise buildings."
Well in, KCStar. Well in.
‘This is what democracy looks like.’ Thousands protest Trump administration at KC march
A massive crowd marched from downtown Kansas City to Union Station Saturday to protest federal policies by President Donald Trump’s administration that are affecting Kansas Citians and the nation.

Was David Mastio writing an OpEd or on behalf of the whole editorial board? Is this his personal, crappy opinion of that of the KCStar? @kansascity.com

These are not serious people.

These are people like that old fuck who wrote the letter to the KCStar complaining about the incivility of "fuck ICE"

Gift 🎁 Link to #KCStar commentary on the winners (billionaire team owners) and losers (the rest of us) as the #KCChiefs move to #Kansas from #Missouri.
There is one party most responsible for the Chiefs’ move to Kansas
It might not be who you’d think, but Monday’s events were the culmination of a calculated effort.

Had to be—otherwise it wasn’t to be trusted.

Remember The KCStar? No BS or fluff—just the facts.

RIP—1977 (when the corpos bought it up)

**disclaimer— the newspaper was owned by The People. Some of those people, were ‘Syndicate’—just like the unions et al.
Remember back then, when news was serious?
