LA Times Staff Quit Over Koch Bros Purchase

Whaaa.  Whaaa. Whaaa.  That's the shrill sound of the three-toed, pointee-headed, pig-nosed libbie-flicker when their nest gets threatened by reality.

The drifting Los Angeles Times threw themselves their annual in-house awards ceremony last week (libbies like to get awards, even if they are completely contrived and phony - like they are).

Times columnist Steve Lopez got up to the podium and quizzed the room full of the paper's employees on the soon-to-happen turnover to one of three possible buyers.  You know, to see how the employees 'feel' about the sale.

The straight-shooting, unbiased, and tolerant libbies made no effort to hide a slow shuddering fear that they may be soon be working for conservative bosses.
  1. "Raise your hand if you would quit if the paper was bought by Austin Beutner's group." No one raised their hands.
  2. "Raise your hand if you would quit if the paper was bought by Rupert Murdoch." A few people raised their hands.
  3. "Raise your hand if you would quit if the paper was bought by the Koch brothers." Half the red faced, quivering mass of soon-to-be-fired anyway staff raised their hands in heroic anonymity.
After years of putting-out drivel and disinformation the staff at LA Times is about to get spanked.  And the inmates working at the paper sniping from behind the ink don't like it much.   Tough.
