If ever a pack of liars deserve a fate, this is it.

Debt-Saddled Tribune Co. Files for Bankruptcy Protection

[sirchtruth]

The publisher of the two most popular dailies, The Los Angeles Times and The Chicago Tribune, has filed for bankruptcy.

They deserve everything which happens to them because of their terribly bad judgement. May there be no rest, only torment, the same torment which they thrust upon a public for their lying, deceptive, unfair, republican, conservative hating bias!

These big newspapers would rather get Obama elected than save their own hide. How shortsighted is that?

Newsies have always told us their vocation is a “calling.” Well, now they get to do it for free, like everyone else who says they do the Lord’s Work.

I like that idea. The libs get to work for free!
