Out-of-town billionaires want to buy the Dodgers? Really? When? They might play a whole lot better than they are now. A really good idea.

a good newspaper is a far more valuable asset.

And it's too bad America's 2nd largest metro area doesn't have one.

Right now the LAT is the Obamadork’s butt-kissing toilet, with the intellectual integrity of a senator.

Methinks megaphone might be an improvement.

“The people of Los Angeles would be up in arms if some out-of-town billionaires tried to buy the Dodgers and institute a rule that only right-handers could play on the team. Petitions would be signed, protests would be organized and politicians would rise up to condemn the sale.”

And, even with all that, it wouldn’t stop the sale.

Liberals just hate when they can’t control things..

Also sounds like ‘Dave’ is a little worried about losing his job.

If he keeps going the way he is, he just might be right.

Yup. It's a shame that LA doesn't have one unless "Democrat Party shills" qualifies...

Check out this bizarre editorial in HuffPo. The writer uses various fantasies and unsupported anecdotes to say that half the LAT staff is going to quit if the Koch deal goes through. I'll bet half the LAT staff has no idea who the Koch brothers are.

Does he mean that after they buy it I might actually would want to read anything there more than my current once every two years? Have they no shame?

Actually, the Kochs have a big advantage here.

Newspapers are of most interest to people who know how to read, do so in English, and actually care to read.

That rules about 60% of the current LA population.

Koch brothers want to make your newspaper their megaphone

I say, "BRING IT ON BOYS."

Against this communistic media we could use a little more fire power in getting information, that should be reported and isn't, out to the public.

Because America hating socialists aren't using the paper (and almost all of media) as their megaphone?

All along, the liberals would have had us believe that it doesn’t really matter who owns a media outlet, because newsroom integrity and the quality of reporting would never be affected by left-wing ownership.

Now they are asking us to believe the exact opposite. They are running scared at the LA Times. Good. The comfortable are becoming afflicted.

Newspapers are withering away all over the country. Right and left.
They may be billionaires now but it doesn’t seem like they want to stay that way.

The people of Los Angeles would be up in arms if some out-of-town billionaires tried to buy the Rams and move them out of town, leaving L.A. without an NFL team for more than a decade.

Oh, wait...

Obviously Horsey is quite comfortable with the current “balance of power” in the media world right now of 98% liberal, vs. 2% other-than-liberal.

Having the Koch brothers buy the L.A. Times would be akin to the tragedy of Jason Collins breaking a nail during his next NBA game.
