Not buying…

After all the slobbering hysteria about the possibility of the  Koch Industries purchasing  the LA Times and the Chicago Tribune,  because  – – gasp!! !–  the Koch brothers are neither liberals nor progressives!,  the loonies can relax.   Apparently the brothers’ due diligence showed the papers  were a bad bet  regardless of their formidable business skills.

Save the whal — I mean newspapers!

Democratic Sen.  Benjamin Cardin has a bill to turn newspapers into nonprofits with lots of tax breaks and incentives.

Wouldn’t it be a lot more honest if the Democratic National Committee simply took them over?    Most of them already read as if written by the staffers at the DNC or the White House.
