“Write stories that accurately reflect the conservative point of view.”

I’m not so much worried about stories that show the conservative point of view (well maybe some editorials). I’m more concerned with the newspaper telling all stories (not minimizing or burying them if they are bad for democrats, or maximizing and plastering them everywhere for months if they are bad for republicans). I want all news of every important story just the facts...I don’t want the newspaper trying to whip me into a frenzy if a story is bad for republicans...or completely ignoring a story and saying nothing to see here, move along, and outright dismissing it if it seems it would hurt democrats.

But I guess this is the conservative viewpoint after all.

Good God, these people are a laugh a minute!!!

If, as we’re told, more and more people don’t read newspapers anyway, why aren’t the Koch Bros buying CNN or a broadcast network instead?

[smoothsailing]

Good point. I believe these newspapers are part of a media group that includes TV stations. It could be that the TV stations are what the Koch brothers are really interested in.

I would rather see them buy ABC,CBS and NBC

The Kochs would be great owners. We should all write to Tribune urging them to sell to the Koch brothers.

“Public trust” my aunt Fannie! Only in the sense that “public trust” = propaganda arm of the DNC and socialist causes.
