America's Paper of Record?

DC Journalists Have Escape Plans If Nation’s Capital Is Attacked

The Washington Post is moving its data center to Tysons Corner in Virginia.

U.S. News has plans to send reporters and editors to hotels in Frederick, Maryland.

The BBC would evacuate its staff to waiting boats on the Potomac River to avoid land-based escape routes that are likely to be jammed. (Apparently, they figure it will be Dunkirk all over again.)

The New York Times Washington bureau says it hasn’t a clue about what to do.

Ever since Pinch Sulzberger appointed Howell Raines as managing editor, the Times has been clueless about everything anyway. So nu, why should this be different? It's disgusting that management in NYC can't figure out how to protect employees, but it's not different.

Unfortunately.
