Progressive rag applauds journalists threatening to quit if Conservatives take over

Ahh the Daily KOS, socialist propaganda at best and naive tripe at worst, are giving kudos to  journalists working at newspapers currently owned by The Tribune Company for offering to quit if Conservatives take over their publications.

Amidst news that the Koch brothers are considering purchasing at least five major Tribune Company newspapers — including the Los Angeles Times, Baltimore Sun, Chicago Tribune, Orlando Sentinel and Hartford Courant — the staff at these organizations are starting to fight back.

Here is a case in point. Last week, at an in-house awards ceremony for Los Angeles Times staff, columnist Steve Lopez asked everyone in attendance, “Raise your hand if you would quit if the paper was bought by the Koch brothers.” Fully half of the staff raised their hands.

What DailyKOS is unwilling to report in their naive release is that Tribune just emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy in December of 2012. Under the management of companies that care not about content, the papers are ripe for purchase from someone actually willing to run them. It would also seem that liberal-heavy content is not doing as well as say… the Wall Street Journal. Air America and Newsweek anyone?

The 50% of newspaper journalists that would leave those papers solely on ideology should absolutely do so. They are, by their own admission, biased – not a shock to the rest of the country.

  1. Aw the far left might lose more of their near-monopoly of national media. Poor comrade babies. They know they would be fired immediately anyway so might as well make a big stink now. Certainly exposes media bias, although they have managed to demonize conservatives so well already that most of the public which still imbibes the Socialist-dominated media interminable invectives will no doubt applaud their threat as merely defending “fairness.”
