There are few more deserving, but many equally complicit.

Time for a government bailout!
The Obama administration can't let one of their most valuable propaganda resources go under this early in the game.

What’s even more disturbing is that the Tribune broke the news of its own bankruptcy with an AP report...

Media conglomerate Tribune Co. has filed for bankruptcy protection, pressured by high debts.
The Chicago Tribune’s parent company was working with bankruptcy advisers at investment bank Lazard and law firm Sidley Austin to weigh financial options, sources told the Chicago Tribune for this morning’s paper.
Tribune Co. has been struggling under a $13 billion debt load since real estate magnate Sam Zell took the company private last December in an $8.2 billion leveraged buyout. The company faces a deadline today on $70 million of unsecured debt it took on before Zell’s deal.

Now that they are bankrupt maybe the LA Times will finally release the Obama farewell party video or sell it to the highest bidder.

Must have laid-off their proofreaders before the news broke. Nope.
Evidence clearly proves the Tribune is still maintaining their usual standard of journalistic excellence.

We sure needed some good news today.
I hope they can't reorganize. Liquidate, baby, liquidate!
