Nothing more pleasant to watch than these idiots attacking themselves.

Watchdog journalism doesn't happen in the mainstream media. They just reprint the propoganda from the AP wire which rarely resembles journalism to begin with.

However, it warms my soul to see moveon.org using resources to go after newspaper companies that are seeing declining profits due to losing their monopoly on the news.

>>...deter the Los Angeles Times from cutting 85 newsroom positions...<
...likely in other words, 'deter the LA Times from cutting 85 MoveOn major contributors.'

What do they think the Tribune Company is? NPR?

Their policies are similar. It’s easy for a democrat to confuse them.

Could these people be more inane?

It is amusing, the people behind the reason for the firings, philosophically speaking, getting PO'd at the firings.

OH, that's a good one!

I'm sure these people use http://losangeles.craigslist.org/ and haven't used the LA Times classifieds in several years also.

"the Los Angeles Times from cutting 85 newsroom positions."

This is a good start. Now if the LAT would just cut ALL positions.

This is truly funny stuff!! Liberals go wild!! Obviously, they think they are ENTITLED to jobs, typical liberal thinking. They really don't understand why papers are losing readers and advertisers.

Apparently the MoveOn nutters see the liberal bias of the press clearly enough to perceive the decline of the newspaper business as a threat to the left's control of the agenda in this country.

Its also nice to see the anti-capitalism crown turning on the hands that feed them. Hopefully the whining will help drive the Tribune's bottom line even further into the toilet.

grassroots political group

When you're liberal, you get called that. But if you're conservative, you get called "extreme right wing" and such.

May I suggest the following Freeper petition?

We demand that all Trib writers and other Trib employees who have lost there jobs be hired by Wal-Mart.

Why doesn't George Soros just permanently put the staff of The Chicago
Tribune on a lifetime salary?
