As Twitchy readers may have heard, there has been some great news out of the dead legacy media this week. More cuts are coming to the bastion of left-wing narratives, The Washington Post. While there has been no official announcement yet, the rumors are that as much as 30 percent of the newsroom may be slashed, including the sports and foreign desk departments.
And there was much rejoicing!
The situation is so dire that WaPo staffers are trying to recruit -- wait for it -- Hollywood actors to try to help save their jobs.
No, we are not making this up. Here is Tom Shillue having a much-deserved laugh at this desperation tactic.

"Life is like a box of chocolates, and The Washington Post sucks."
LOL. That should replace "Democracy Dies In Darkness" on the masthead.
Yep ... The WaPo should replace this old, worn out, tiresome pomposity on its masthead with the accurate truth.
As funny as Shillue is, though, we found an even funnier reaction to the impending doom coming to WaPo. It came from the unlikeliest of sources: Chris Cillizza and Chuck Todd.
Earlier this week, these two epitomes of everything that is wrong with the legacy media jumped up on their high horses to BLAST WaPo for what it let itself become.
This is kind of like Ted Bundy criticizing Jeffrey Dahmer for his technique. But it made for an unintentionally hilarious video clip.
Watch:
Chris Cillizza (@ChrisCillizza) ~ If the Washington Post isn't going to be a local outlet (and cover sports) or a national outlet (and cover foreign affairs) what the hell is it going to be?

HAHAHAHA!
Go get 'em, kings!
Of course, Cillizza and Todd are not wrong in much of what they say here. Particularly the part about the newspaper's editorial page being a laughingstock.
It is that. Just not in the way that Todd thinks it is.
The irony is that both of these men are currently hosting living room podcasts because they are just as much of a laughingstock.
Capt Tuttle (@CaptTuttle2215) ~ {Replying to @ChrisCillizza} Two unemployed guys fired from legacy media talking about media coverage is peak 2026.
Two washed-up has-beens thrown out with yesterday's trash for being stupidly irrelevant who delusionally think it is fit for them to pontificate is downright pathetic.
Our only regret is that Joy Reid didn't join them for this segment.
Pundit Review (@PunditReview) ~ {Replying to @ChrisCillizza} Ruined by liberals like you two.
And not only will they never admit that, but they will never even see it.
Yes, because Cillizza & Todd are ...
Phil (@pscottrnc) ~ {Replying to @ChrisCillizza} Two losers who suck at their jobs and now talk to each other from their kitchens.
RapierWitt (@MonteStamper1) ~ {Replying to @ChrisCillizza} 2 irrelevant people who keep digging ... 😆
They're shoveling something, alright.
