Dear Jim,
How would you feel if your local newspaper was suddenly owned by the tea party?
Right-wing extremists and tea party megadonors Charles and David Koch
want to take over nine newspapers owned by the Tribune Company,
including the Los Angeles Times and the Chicago Tribune.
Stop the Koch brothers from buying the news.
The Koch brothers are famous for their right-wing ideology and their
bankrolling of ultra-conservative, union busting organizations. Now they
want to buy up influential print newspapers, turning reliable media
outlets into their own versions of Fox News.
We rely on our local newspapers for smart, unbiased reporting and
thorough investigations about what's happening in our communities. And
we count on well-researched and untainted endorsements of political
candidates on the editorial pages.
If the oil-billionaire Koch brothers take over these papers, we can expect a lot of changes at these reputable papers.
Our local media is no place for right-wing propaganda.
Thank you.
In solidarity,
President
SEIU
Mary Kay,
Let's hope the Koch Brothers get as much for their money here as they got out of bankrolling Romney.
