So, who really got dissed?

The newspaper industry, that's who.

Last night, Letterman did his regular local news bit and noted the byline from a story.

Some blogger (Aaron Barnhart), looking for something to do, looked up the reporter to get her reaction to getting insulted by Letterman. I don't know, it didn't seem insulting to me. She didn't seem to think so either.

As it turned out, she had just been laid off.

So, ignoring the fact she didn't think she was insulted (why let a silly thing like the facts stand in the way of a good story), he went with " 'Small Town News' journalist dissed by Letterman was laid off last week."

He missed the bigger picture. What are the odds that she'd be laid off? Not really that huge, these days.
