Outstanding!: Tribune files for Bankruptcy

[Rick]

Tito, while Fox news is the only news channel I watch, they are slanted to the right. Being a conservative who leans a little to the right myself, I watch them as there's absolutely no other place to get my news (maybe the BBC). I see them slant stories there, but watch because it sure as hell beats the alternative!

Like someone else posted earlier (sorry, too lazy to look it up!), we are all going to have our own beliefs and opinions. If you're a right winger, you're going to disagree with most news outlets... it's just the way it is. If you're a left winger, you probably think Sean Hannity and Glen Beck are pure evil!

I learned that I'm probably not going to change anyone's opinion with my own, but I go with what I think is right. I also lean right because of my principles and beliefs. It's just my opinion, and nobody in here has to believe it but me! Just saying...

Read my response to Artist4perry, there was a joke to my answer. Second, as a conservative myself, I have said for a long time Fox News is the WORST thing that has ever happened to the conservative movement. Sean Hannity is not good. Glenn Beck I don't have a problem with and was very good in giving everyone a heads up to the economic problems that are here today. he's been warning about it for nearly two years.

So what you're basically saying is that you like pickles? Sorry...I'm still stuck on the Dane Cook videos! I didn't realize you were joking about Fox.

What is this fascination about pickles and Dane Cook? Must have missed something..................Would that be kosher?

That one went over my head too. I guess that's fair, my joke/comment went over everyone's head too.

Kosher........a type of pickle. Also a saying that means "Would that be proper or acceptable."

Tito, you and BJG crack me up!

I'm not real clear on the whole "Kosher" thing, except that, as it applies to food, is a way of preparing it so that it has not had any contact with certain animals and therefore fit for consumption, or some such shit. But how would you prepare an unKosher pickle? What's in it that could possibly be unKosher?

A pickle is kosher if it meets Jewish dietary laws — kashrut. In addition, many pickles are labeled as kosher pickles because they are made in the style of pickles served at Jewish delicatessens. People who are concerned about complying with kosher restrictions should always check the label to make sure that the pickles are, in fact, kosher. Although it may be confusing to conceive of a non-kosher kosher pickle, it does happen on occasion.

The primary issue with pickles and their status as a kosher food is the use of animal products at some pickling and canning facilities. A pickle is made by brining a cucumber in a solution of water and salt. Sometimes, the brine is emulsified with polysorbates, which are made from animal fat. If the polysorbates are from kosher animals such as cattle slaughtered in accordance with kosher law, the pickles would be considered kosher. However, the concern is that the pickles could be contaminated with products of so-called “unclean animals,” such as pigs, or that the animals used to make the polysorbates were not slaughtered properly. As a general rule, it is easier to make pickles without polysorbates if a facility is pursuing kosher certification.

In order to be certified, the kosher pickle facility must permit inspection by a rabbi, in addition to being blessed. Periodic inspections will be carried out to make sure that the facility conforms with kosher laws, and a kosher-certifying organization will allow the facility to include a kosher logo on the label. This assures Jewish consumers that the kosher pickles they are purchasing are, in fact, kosher.

In order for a pickle to be classified as kosher in terms of flavor, it must be made with brine and garlic. The common term “kosher pickle” is derived from kosher salt, a thick grained salt used to brine or season meats and vegetables both inside and outside of Jewish tradition. The garlic adds to the zesty, slightly spicy flavor of a true kosher pickle made in the style of a Jewish delicatessen. Although the overall numbers of Jewish delicatessens are declining around the world, a fully functioning deli will often pickle an assortment of vegetables to serve with food. Some pickling companies even specialize in Jewish style pickled foods.

Unlike sweet pickles or bread and butter pickles, a kosher pickle is crunchy and zesty. A classic variant on the traditional kosher pickle is the dill pickle, which includes dill in the brine solution. If a soggy, mushy, sweet pickle is served to you under the guise of being a kosher pickle, you should immediately complain, because while it may be pickled, it most certainly does not deserve to be called a kosher pickle.

Tito - sorry to contribute to the thread hi-jack, but it seemed a legit question...

I'm totally lost now. I was good up until page 2, this page (3) I have no fuckin' clue what's going on.

Sorry man...I just had to throw in the pickle wrench! I was just laughing about the Dane Cook video (see the thread for BJG) about "Burger King". Hence, the "Pickle" joke. Carry on...

LOL

I know you though. I knew if you responded that would be your answer.

[artist4perry]

Sorry, I am a bit ADHD. Saw something about pickles, and Dane Cook. Found it odd, went on a white rabbit chase. Now that I have confused you, I am quite happy! LOL!

This is horrible news. The Tribune is the parent company of my newspaper here in Florida. They've already changed the format recently and pared it down. Now I know why. Shame on you Tito for saying "outstanding." Grow up. Our economy is in the toilet and every day the news is worse than the day before. These newspapers will be laying off people with children at Christmastime. People are being let go right and left from so many types of businesses, and they won't be able to find jobs. This is really a fightening time for our country economywise.

I'm a bit freaked out by this too, even though I don't work for the Tribune company. I work for a subsidiary of RR Donnelley. We had layoffs a few months ago, and I fully expect more either this month or next. I work in education publishing, and one of the big 3 k-12 publishers (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt) had massive layoffs last week. I'm sure the others will have some as well.

I'm sorry to hear it. I hope you're one of the lucky ones there. My friend works in telecommunications and is middle management. People are dropping like flies, but she's managed to hang on and knows how lucky she is. She said for the last two years the morale has been so low, because you never know when the axe is going to come down on you. And now with what's going on, she's really nervous.

Keep the faith.

[wastingbeerz]

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

Not more politics again.... :::vomits:::

[Smoothie]

Tito, you're a real jackass sometimes.

[The_Noble_Cause]

Yes they are (although they at least give the left a chance to speak, and frequently give them the last word!)

Fox News House Democrats Alan Colmes, Kristen Powers, and Juan Williams represent the left about as much as Turncoat Joe Lieberman.

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.

Aside from Keith Olbermann and his labia lapping pixie friend, "the left" doesn't own shit - and even those two are on the payroll of GE, one of the largest military contractors in the world.
I see now Murdoch is spoiling to buy up the NY Times.
If and when he does, I wonder who will fill the void to be the Right's new favorite whipping boy?
Bitch, moan, bitch, moan....

OH TITOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Great. Now Office Depot is closing 112 stores and laying of 2,200 people. Things are lookin' bad, folks.
