MoveOn Protests Cuts in Tribune Co. Newsrooms

The George Soros funded MoveOn.org is in the news.The L.A.Times reports:

MoveOn.org has launched a petition drive to protest job reductions at the Los Angeles Times and three other Tribune Co. newspapers — cutbacks that the liberal activist group says threaten the papers' ability to deliver "strong watchdog journalism."

MoveOn organizers said Friday, a little more than 24 hours into their Internet campaign, that they had collected 17,125 signatures to protest cuts that this week reduced The Times' newsroom staff by 8%, or 85 positions. The group reported that it had obtained a total of 10,360 signatures objecting to cuts at the Chicago Tribune, Baltimore Sun and Orlando Sentinel.

What would prevent Soros from setting up his own newspaper? He's got the money.Why doesn't MoveOn.org offer to buy the L.A.Times if they are so unhappy.Demonstrating because a company is going to lay off some employees is rather strange behavior in a free society.If they don't like the paper,don't buy it.
