Losing Freedom of the Press

Stop the Koch brothers from purchasing the Los Angeles Times and other media outlets

Right-wing super villains Charles and David Koch have reportedly expressed interest in purchasing some or all of the holdings of the Tribune Company, which owns newspaper and television stations across the country, including the Los Angeles Times.

Millions of people count on the Los Angeles Times for strong and unbiased reporting, including their endorsements for political candidates and ballot initiatives. It would be a travesty to the fourth estate if the Koch brothers purchase one of the most respected newspapers in the country in order to peddle their discredited ideas and right-wing propaganda.

Please join with Daily Kos and the Courage Campaign in signing our petition to Peter Liguori, President of The Tribune Company, urging him not to sell the Los Angeles Times and other Tribune media properties to Charles and David Koch.
 

To Peter Liguori, President of The Tribune Company:

We urge you not to sell the Los Angeles Times or other Tribune Company holdings to David and Charles Koch because of their extreme, propagandist interests which have no place in journalistic endeavors.
