Hey, CBS News has to pay her salary


Word began spreading a few days ago that CBS News (the network division whose putative field marshal is called "Katie") was in for some layoffs this week, with as many as 100 people-- seven percent of the 1,400 staffers around the world-- getting the axe. Day one of the week has ended and apparently the suits om CBS Human Resources don't follow the practice of giving the hard word on Friday afternoons so the fired ones will have a weekend to cool off before deciding to return to the office with a rifle.

After what went on today, they're calling it "Black Monday."

Writes one CBS Newser:

"Black Monday -- it's been a brutal day at CBS News, layoffs in DC, London, NY, LA, Miami, just about everywhere. We lost some very good people today."
