By all means, stop the Koch brothers.
We can’t allow the absolute Liberal stranglehold on media be challenged by these upstarts.

The Koch brothers have become the nations leading cheerleaders for free markets where consumers, employees, entrepreneurs and investors are free to pursue their own selfish interests without interference from government or unions or anyone else for that matter.
There's something wrong with this?

" And in the meantime, competing news organizations would be quick to pick up Tribunes stars and use them to lure away readers and advertisers at a time when circulation and revenue are already under pressure. " Ok Steve, name the "Stars" who could accomplish this.

If one removes "selfish" from the preceding, that's EXACTLY what America needs.

Here’s the thing, when it comes to social policies, both these brothers are not really that conservative at all. Charles and David are more libertarian in their views.

The Washington Post couldn’t write an objective, bias-free news story if their life depended on it.

Well it does clean windows better than either The Washington Post or Detroit Free Press, and soaks up far more bird poo than the Atlanta Journal Constitution.

And if those journalists decide collectively to walk out the door one day, the readers and advertisers are almost certain to follow.No, the advertisers won't. They have "Journalistas"? THAT is why they are in the financial mess to begin with. I see a HUGE opportunity for a collection of Large Newspapers to reorganize and clean out the Subversive Trash that populates them masquerading as journalists. With the "right" people running the papers and the "right" people writing for them, they could become a competing news source for the Propaganda at AP. Bring it on.
Think about the opportunity. Citizen reporters with cell phones with video reporting on what actually happened. Does that brighten your day?

At its heart, any news organization is only as good as the journalists who put it out. Fixed it. A small correction, but accurate in the Age of Zero.

They’re “really” thinking of selling to the Koch, based on my insider here in L.A. who works for the Slimes. Libtards love money, regardless of their fake hypocrisy about “the little guy”. Another thing: they already hired someone to preside over these dimwits, and the hard core libs balk at the name after they did a background search.

The phrase he’s deliberately distorting is “enlightened self-interest”.

Translation: “we’re so balanced and fair, so we don’t actually need the offhand chance of a second opinion out there”.
Squealing like stuck pigs. Music to my ears.
I also love the whole “commitment to the community” crap. It’s business. It’s job is to make money. And the current owners have a vested interest in selling to the highest bidder, no matter what that bidder wants to do with it.

If one removes "selfish" from the preceding, that's EXACTLY what America needs. Actually, a little more self-interest by the right people is pretty much what the country needs. The individual is the keystone to our society.

A pox and a whiz on this worthless rag that isn’t worthy of being garbage wrap.
A stinking lousy paper for a stinking lousy city.
To ahead NK. I dare you to blow up LA!
Gutless wonder!

Sam Zell is one man I look up to, that man isn’t going to let a bunch of limp wristed dipshites in the LA Times corporation get in his way. Zell will fire the entire corporation and sell the corporate shell if he thinks he can find a buyer in the Koch Bothers and he also has fond better investment options for his money.
Zell is diametrically opposed to left wing Progressive douchbaggery, and I won’t be surprised if he fires the entire LA Times newsroom just for kicks.
