  ...
  Stanton replaces Jim O'Shea, who you might remember, did not leave quietly.
  ...
  Well, then Jim O'Shea's departure couldn't have felt good.Because when he was ousted, he either was supremely bitter or incredibly honestâ€"or maybe a little bit of bothâ€"and basically said the whole Times operation was crap.
  ...
  So while you were enjoying your three day weekend, Jim O'Shea was getting all outraged about getting fired from the L.A. Times over financial disputes, the demise of print journalism, etc.
  
  In the past three years, four senior editors have left the L.A. Times complaining about budget cuts.Effectively, the L.A. Times is that guy who can't commit that every girl thinks she can change.

  ...
  Our Expert Analysis Of Jim O'Shea's Hiring/Firing Practices Over At The L.A. Times
  
  In an email sent yesterday at 4:14pm, L.A. Times editor Jim O'Shea tacitly informed staffers that 57 members of the editorial department will be either voluntarily,or "involuntarily",departing.We've pasted his note below, including our thoughtful analysis of O'Shea's smooth transition from "Some highly talented people are leaving the staff and I hate to see them go" to "Fuck it, they were all crap, you 'still-employed' folks are the future."
  
  [Ed: Admittedly, we may have used some artistic license in paraphrasing the latter portion of O'Shea's email missive, but the sentiment remains the same.]
  
  And now, for the morale-boosting announcement!As you can see from the opening lines, O'Shea doesn't waste any time!
