When Hedge Funds Own Newspapers

Please read: http://stupidpartymathvmyth.com/1/post/2016/04/hedge-funds-newspapers.html

"Dear Press-Enterprise,

(Regarding the above cartoon in the OP section on 4/16/16)

Let’s see. We have Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders sitting in a dunk tank where both solutions are going to tank the economy.

Bernie is the only candidate who honesty endorses the taxing of extreme wealth, so that the economy may reinstate the America Dream of a growing middle class. A fact that needs to be accomplished for the middle class, of which Hillary’s plan does not fully address. But this right-wing cartoon takes them both down.

By publishing this cartoon in your newspaper, does this mean the Press-Enterprise is endorsing extreme wealth, non-American ideas of a middle-class, and secretly supports the right’s agenda of corporate wealth over we the people’s economic health? Does this mean you really don’t care about we the people? Is your newspaper under the guise that the information from the left and right deserve equal time, while the syndicated cartoons you choose to print dominantly slant right? Are you trying to brainwash me with this trick?

Alden Global Capital, the NY hedge fund that just bought your paper, welcomes you soundly."

as in they may have wacky editorial boards but pushing a specific corporate agenda is rather distasteful or is that just me
