Koch News

The internet is alive with rumors that the Koch brothers might be looking at buying some newspapers, including the L.A. Times and the Chicago Trib.  St a meeting of the staff, the participants were asked how many would up and quit if the Koch bres actually bought the paper:
Then he addressed the elephant in the room: “Raise your hand if you would quit if the paper was bought by the Koch brothers.”
About half the staff raised their hands, Ms. Miles reports.
 Yeah sure. These are the same people who idly threaten to move to Canada if a Republican gets elected to anything. 

If those people actually did quit, the value of the paper would go up and the Kochs would immediately realize a profit. They should demand that they sign an agreement to that effect.
