Stupidity in action.

[hispanichoosier]

This is good news. Instead of focusing on voter ID and voter registration, MoveOn.org is engaging in labor advocacy. Keep 'em distracted!

[WatchYourself]

If Moveon wants to save these jobs they can start by making Doros-like donations to Tribune. If spending Tens of millions of dollars to (unsuccessfully) unseat Bush is all and well they can at least do more than "sign a petition."

But they aren't really about helping people...

[Prime Choice]

If MoveOn.org is so hot to trot to have those jobs kept, then why doesn't it just hire those people who got laid off?

Oh, right...Leftists are only generous with other people's money.

Short version: Moonbats rally to prop up Ministry of Propaganda.

Good luck with that. I'll be reading the blogosphere.

[bkepley]

Hmmmm....now why would MoveOn.org think it has a dog in this fight?

[randog]

"In the big picture, we want to create an environment where media corporations can no longer ignore the public's desire for strong watchdog journalism," Green said.

So, reading between the lines (pardon the pun), MorOn thinks it can prop up their watchdog journalists propagandists by submitting petitions to them? H'yuck! Did it ever occur to MorOn that going door-to-door soliciting subscriptions to increase circulation and revenue might save jobs? Of course not--that's capitalism and that's bad. What's their next great idea--tax subsidies for these dying dinosaur newspapers?

[Fenris6]

Lets not forget MoveOn's corruption: the group was formed during the Clinton Impeachment. They insisted that Congress censure Clinton and "move on", but never mentioned that congressional Dems were free to censure Clinton at any time, without cooperation from the GOP. It was merely a ruse - censure instead of impeachment, meant to be followed up with harsh words instead of censure once impeachment was off the table.

These guys have zero integrity.

[Publius6961]

"Moron.org" has invented a new business model? Manage private companies by means of petitions?

I know they're cute, but are kindergarteners allowed to participate in political activism?

Shouldn't they be in school?

[The Old Hoosier]

So why don't they go after the NY Times and Boston Globe? I'll tell you why, because the Trib is traditionally more conservative.

These people are just idiots, they don't care about local news or else they'd be fighting Gannett.

[ChadGore]

The truth costs nothing to print.

Why hasn't someone told them this?

[NoClones]

if the moveon dorkos want to help the trib they should subscribe to it...

...DUH!!!

[newcthem]

This is great.........MoveON.orgasm should be a watch dog group, making sure that the MSM keeps full workforce as their marketshare continues to tank and their profitability is in the toilet. Great Idea!! Socialism in Action!!

[bessay]

True liberal approach. They could just buy lots of Trib papers, but instead they sign petitions. They want the Trib stockholders to pay for their ideology.

[strategofr]

How about creating a permanent "button" on the top of the Forum labelled "FRSURV" for "Free Republic Survivial"? The thread would be devoted to defeating McCain/Feingiold-related attempts to shut down FR.

I realize buttons are probably usually based on reader interest, and practically no one cares about this issue. But in the name of survival, FR can make an exception and blatantly promote an issue this once.

move-bowels.org should just declare the Tribune a people's newspaper and everyone could have a job.Then evedryone could have a wonderful secular winter holiday.
