VIDEO: Watch what hedge fund Alden Global Capital has done to the Pulitzer-Prize winning Denver Post newsroom

Since this photo was taken in May 2013, The Denver Post newsroom staff has been cut by more than half as Alden Global Capital, the hedge fund that owns the paper, rakes in massive profits. And more layoffs are on the way.

Send the message to Alden now: invest in your newspapers or sell them to someone who will. To learn more, read this by Margaret Sullivan in the Washington Post, and this by Joe Nocera in Bloomberg.

4. Fascist Media. Dumb down the populous. Reduce life to a Reality Show....

.... lots of motion, madness, chaos, and mayhem but little or no substance or of any socially redeeming value. Play upon and exploit the emotional rather the intellectual instincts. Carving out a niche of nothingness.
