Employees of Bankrupt Strib Beg For Help

How pitiful is this? Their newspaper is bankrupt due in no small part to their far left slant, and now the folks who've helped drive the Minneapolis Star Tribune into the ground are online begging for help.

Ahh, the delicious schadenfreude.

Employees of the Minneapolis Star Tribune launched an online campaign on Monday in a bid to save the Minnesota newspaper, which declared bankruptcy nearly three months ago.

"With the Star Tribune in bankruptcy, Minnesota?s largest news source is in danger of going dark," they said in a message on the website, savethestrib.com.

"We, the journalists who write, photograph, edit and present the news every day, are launching this campaign because we believe the Star Tribune is an essential community resource that is too valuable to lose," they said.

"Our best chance of continuing to provide the breadth and quality of news, opinion, sports and entertainment coverage Minnesotans deserve is to attract a new owner who shares our values and who is ready to lead the Star Tribune into a new age," they added.

"Help us convince a potential owner that great cities need robust news operations," they said. "Save The Strib."

Maybe they can do like the former reporters of the Rocky Mountain News and try to scare up 50,000 to pay for their slanted reporting.
