Outstanding!: Tribune files for Bankruptcy

[Tito]

It's a shame what they've (liberals) done to that once proud conservative newspaper. Fuck the libs, I hope it dies.

Nope. Not outstanding. My brother's wife could be losing her job. She works there.

Is she a liberal?

[Rhiannon]

How the shit could they go bankrupt? The sunday paper had more ads/circulars in it than there was "news".

Does it matter? Any time someone loses their job because a company goes under is tragic; what the hell does it matter what her politics are?

[ProgRocker53]

Tito, you're a real jackass sometimes.

Tito, you're a real jackass sometimes.

Even the best of us still need to improve.

My goal by the end of next year is to be a real jackass most of the time.
By the end of 2010, all of the time.

I strive for perfection. I guess I'm a lot like Perry after all.

Thank you. No it does NOT matter. What matters is she's a pro at what she does, this was her dream job when she majored in journalism, she's a mother of 2 and her company just filed for bankruptcy protection 2 weeks before christmas. I swear he does that just to incite reactions and rile people up. Anyone that truly thinks that way is totally fucked in the head.

Bring on the triceratops.

Tito, sometimes I'd love nothing more than to see you get raped by a triceratops.

Just sayin'.

I see why some of you would be upset by his statement, and while I'm not saying I'd like to see anybody lose their jobs...I have to say that I don't feel bad for liberal newspapers that fold under. It's nothing personal, but I think the media have in themselves caused more problems for this country by slanting their views and distorting the truth than just about any other organization.

I'd feel the same way if I heard that about someone who worked for ACLU. While I don't wish for anything bad to happen to them, I'd like to see them do something else that's helpfull to society to earn a paycheck. JMHO

something helpful. Like work for Fox News?


You know, there's a lot of other reasons for this that have nothing to do with a political ideology and more with the fact that anyone with an internet connection and reasonable computer skills has no need for print newspapers. Newspapers have consolidated and downsized their staffs so much that they've been a joke for years, it's about time they start dying off. We don't need to kill trees just to read generic Associated Press stories in our local papers anymore.

You've got your opinion, and I've got mine. Is Fox news slanted? Yes they are (although they at least give the left a chance to speak, and frequently give them the last word!), but that's one news organization against what....7 others? Give me a damn break! The left has nearly every other news outlet in the country...we've got fox news and those who chose to listen to him...Rush.

For the record, I never said anything about them going under BECAUSE of being liberal. They're a business just like any other, and sometimes businesses fail.

Yes it does.

If you think its funny to say shit like that so you can sit back and laugh at the reactions, fine. And sometimes it is. But forgive me if shit like this which directly impacts my family isn't fucking funny to me.

Nothing crosses the line here. I actually thought it was kind of funny. I can handle the abuse...ask SteveW.

If I say it crosses the line, you probably done something criminal then.

How come things that always amuse me, wind up having a negative impact on your family. What's wrong with them?

THAT'S A JOKE!

We need a Chicago forum. Right between the Winger Forum and the Eric Martin Forum below the JSS Forum.

I guess they never received a copy of "Tito's Rules".

I received one, but I burned it.

Anything that relates to Tito, so in a word, both.

What did I do to you?


Officially, the Tribune is a national (if not international) media conglomerate.
