(My new American Thinker post)
"Common Cause, Daily
Kos, Free Press and Courage Campaign are among the groups protesting the sale to
the conservative financiers, calling them "radical right wing ideologues."
A sale of the company
is considered imminent."
We hear that "half" of the staff will quit! I guess
that must be the "half" of the staff still working there after all of the job cuts in recent years. The problems go back to 2008!
Frankly, I think that
the reporters should be cheering that two guys with deep pockets will buy a
newspaper losing readership and sinking in competition with the new
media.
After all, how many jobs
are the guys at "Daily Kos", "Common Cause", "Free Press" and "Courage
Campaign" going to offer all of those reporters threatening
to resign if the Koch duo takes over the newspaper? The answer is none.
My
advice to the anti-Koch heroes, or those who want to save the world from right
wing ideology, is to pick up the phone and chat with some of their unemployed
friends of the old media. They will discover that working for "right wing ideologues" who pay faithfully every two weeks is
actually a pretty good life after all.
After all, the best
job in the world comes with a paycheck and security.
God bless the employer who puts a direct deposit in your checking account on pay day. He is a lot better than the liberal who can't make payroll anymore.

There are two problems with the liberal panic over the
purchase of The LA Times.
The first one is reality. In other words, do any of
these guys at the LA Times know that they work for an industry in decline? It's
really hard to believe that these reporters think they will
resign and get jobs in this
industry.
The second one is free speech. The Koch Brothers have
every right to buy the newspaper and run it as they see fit. After all, isn't
that what the current ownership has been doing all of these years.
Call their bluff. Let's see how many of these
reporters would rather be unemployed than working for the Koch
Brothers!
Call their bluff and let's see how many will really
quit!
