Einn af blaðamönnunum sem hafa skorið sig úr eftir hrunið er Þórður Snær Júlíusson. Hann var í hópi þremenninga sem skrifuðu viðskiptafréttir í Morgunblaðið, en hvarf þaðan eftir ráðningu Davíðs Oddssonar ásamt Björgvini Guðmundssyni og Þorbirni Þórðarsyni. Þeir voru stundum nefndir skytturnar þrjár fyrir mjög vasklega framgöngu í fréttaskrifum af hrunverjum og útrásarvíkingum.

Þórður Snær og Björgvin eru nú blaðamenn á Viðskiptablaðinu.

Þórður Snær tjáir sig um atburði síðasta árs í nýjasta tölublaði Grapevine og fjallar þar meðal annars um ráðningu Davíðs Oddssonar á Morgunblaðið.

Yfirskrift greinar hans er An Invitation to Historical Forgery.

Þar segir meðal annars:

„The first thing that comes to mind about 2009, as a sort of a milestone event for the year, is the hiring of Davíð Oddsson as editor for Morgunblaðið. It can reasonably be lienet to a bankster being appointed to the Supreme Court to rule on his own case. Fittingly, the historical analyses that have been appearing in Morgunblaðið over he past few months seem to be put forth by a man that has a great interest in how history is written, and that it will be written in a certain way – entirely ignoring how far from reality those writings are.

Aside from that, Davíð has never worked a real job in the media, and thus has neither the knowledge nor the experience to lead any part of it. It is unfair to the journalists of Morgunblaðið to work under a man who knows the answers to most of their questions, but neither can nor will answer them. As a former employee of Morgunblaðið I find it very sad to witness how the newspaper has evolved over the past few months, and the circumstances its able professionals are forced to work in. Alas, private companies can hire whomever they want to hire.„
