'To LA Times staff threatening to leave if Koch brothers buy it, can you make that a promise and put it in writing?' Rush Limbaugh

5/2/13, "Liberals Freak Out Over Prospect of Koch Brothers Buying the LA Times," RushLimbaugh transcript

"Half of the staff of the LA Times reportedly said they would quit if the Koch brothers bought the Los Angeles Times. When I heard that I said, "And the problem is? What?" Newspapers are going broke. Newspapers are going broke for a host of reasons.

Ad pages are down. Ad rates are down. Total advertising revenue is down.... Print journalism is in deep trouble. It's going to take creative, inventive people to turn it around, and who knows? The Koch brothers may have an idea on how to do it....

If half that place walked out, that would be the first step in the LA Times perhaps reversing its fortunes. Bring in some fresh blood -- people who appreciate a paycheck, people who actually want to save a dying industry, find ways to save a dying beast, which is the problem. The parasites would not have a receptive host if the Koch brothers were the owners, and if they're serious about this...I just want to say: If you guys are serious about buying the LA Times, you need to get a promise in advance from those members of the Times promising to quit if you buy it.

Get a written promise from 'em before you sign the deal....

A small, little update to the Koch brothers buying the Los Angeles Times....Get this: "Three Los Angeles City Council members ... asked their colleagues Tuesday to consider pulling city pension money from the investment firms that own the Los Angeles Times if they sell the publication to buyers who do not support 'professional and objective journalism.'""...image from RushLimbaugh.com
