To: Peter Liguori, CEO, Tribune Company
Tell the Chicago Tribune: Don't sell to the Koch brothers!
Don't sell the Chicago Tribune to the union-busting, election-buying Koch brothers.
Why is this important?
The Koch brothers are the right-wing duo infamous for funding the Tea Party. Now they want to buy their own media empire to spread their extreme views -- including buying the Chicago Tribune, and its parent, the Tribune Company.
The Kochs have spent their fortune funding anti-worker candidates like Scott Walker and right-wing lobbying groups like ALEC. They even warned tens of thousands of their employees that there would be "consequences" if they didn't vote for Republicans. Not exactly the kind of guys I want running the most respected newspaper in Illinois. Isn't one Rupert Murdoch enough?
The Chicago Tribune is a valuable source of honest journalism. We can't let it turn into a right-wing mouthpiece.
Please sign our petition against a Koch brothers buyout of the Tribune.
