For the Cost of a Cup of Coffee You Can Keep an Ex-WaPo Employee From Starving – Twitchy

In the 1980s and 1990s, actress Sally Struthers was in ubiquitous ads for The Christian Children’s Fund, imploring TV watchers to ‘Feed the Children.’ With Wednesday’s mass firing of roughly 300 employees at The Washington Post, Twitchy alum Enguerrand VII de Coucy posits that it might be time for Struthers to beg the public to ‘Feed the Journos.’

These jettisoned ‘journalists’ are starving for attention and will soon be starving for supper and soy lattes in the unemployment line.

Won’t you please consider a small donation? Wait, can ‘journos’ feed themselves on just 65 cents a day?

That’s less than the price of a cup of coffee.

Quite a bit less these days

I’ll keep my 65 cents thank you

Don’t make Struthers cry!

Others are not so stingy but are having trouble calculating the cost to feed ‘journos’ their usual pretentious diet.

I want to contribute to their basic needs, but I don’t know much 300 orders of avocado toast costs

Let them eat cake (doughnuts)

Vegan only, of course.

Some feel that canned WaPo workers should seek out a nearby cannery. From scoops to soups!

A person can just get another job.

But what can out-of-work ‘journos’ do with virtually no real-world experience?

If Struthers doesn’t pull enough heartstrings, it might be time for someone who sings. Paging Sarah McLachlan and her angels.

Learning to code? Won’t someone please think about the ‘journalists!’ Operators are standing by.
