Are you suggesting that such a sale will change anything?

I'm suggesting that it's a free country and a private individual with the means to buy a newspaper should be able to do so without being bullied by partisans. In other words, (a) their hypocrisy is breathtaking and (b) it's none of their damn business who Tribune sells to.

Right... Al Gore can sell his business to anybody he wants to.

Wait... Aren't we talking about him??

That logic applies to dope dealers who launder their money in US banks and buy legit businesses, and politicians too right?

The Kochs are doing nothing illegal in in trying to buy a newspaper.

And Daily Kos is doing nothing illegal is airing their opinion. Now what?

Did I call it illegal or equate it with something that was as Tal did or attempt to prevent them from airing their opinion? Uh, no. I called it bullying, hypocritical and none of their damn business, yes.

It certainly isn't bullying. It isn't hypocritical since Daily Kos as a company has done nothing close to what Koch companies do: Koch Industries - SourceWatch
And offering an opinion don't involve it being any "of their damn business".

OK genius, it is an attempt to bully the Tribune into bowing to their will.

Aside from the fact that's about the most convoluted reasoning ever, the hypocrisy is in Kos and co. posing as guardians of "accurate, unbiased information" in the media.

and offering an opinion don't involve it being any "of their damn business".

The express purpose of the coaltion's campaign is to "Stop The Sale Of Tribune Co. Newspapers To Koch Brothers," not merely offer an opinion. If they want to "stop the sale" they're interfering in a transaction that's none of their damn business.

Like I said, hypocrites bullying Tribune in something that's none of their damn business. Actually, I find it quite un-American as well.

But you offer your opinion in how the current administration are crooks and should be doing things differently. You do this every single day. Are you a bully too?

Do you not think before you write this crap or are you so eager to try and make me look bad you can't help but look foolish in the process?

NeedKarma · May 9, 2013, 12:12 PM

But you are doing the same thing as Daily Kos are doing - you have a campaign to discredit the current administration and all things liberal. Aren't you a bully too?

talaniman · May 9, 2013, 12:22 PM

Now, now, NK, just because you throw rocks doesn't mean you are a bully. We call it PARTISAN.
