Here’s An Idea, DO YOUR FUCKING JOB!!!

A letter to the next owner of the Chicago Tribune: We need you.

Hello, next owner, whoever you may be.

I’m writing today on behalf of Tribune journalists past, present and future, all of us who have had — and, with your help, will have — the great fortune of working at one of the greatest newspapers in the world, located in one of the world’s great cities.

We don’t know who you are yet. But we know we need you, and urgently. Let me tell you why.

 

First, though, let me tell you who we are.

 

We’re a staff that works seven days a week, at all hours, to make sure that the citizens of Chicago and its suburbs know what’s going on. We believe that accurate information and informed opinion are vital to the city’s well-being.

 

Some of us are paid fairly for this labor. Many are not. All of us do our work proudly, in the belief that strong newspapers are part of the connective tissue of a community, without which the place falls apart.

We’ve continued to do this work even as the newspaper industry has been overrun with owners who don’t share our core beliefs. Now we are urgently looking for an owner who does, an owner we can believe in.

Wah,Wah,Wah !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The writer prattles on about how important journalists are to the survival and fabric of the universe.

About how unfair it would be if the new owner of the paper came in and cut staff. (damn profits)

Well hell, if you (collectively as the paper) would do your fucking jobs, you would be rewarded.  Your subscription base and sales would go up if you did your fucking jobs !

For 2 1/2 years, your paper did zero investigative reporting about the Democrat hoax called “Trump-Russia-Collusion.”

Currently, your paper has also never done one piece of serious investigative work on the current Democrat hoax called “Impeachment.”

Yeah, just do your job and things would work out just fine.
