The voter guide packet also included a list of candidates supported by Koch companies and pro-Romney op-eds by Charles and David Koch. The letter also noted that employees’ voting decisions are “yours and yours alone.”

Great example of taking something out of context. "Suffer the consequences" like higher gas prices and more debt. That was not referring to the employees' jobs. Tricia, you epitomize why so many people hate journalists and the media. This garbage is irresponsible and undisciplined. Don't try and rephrase the news to fit your liberal viewpoints--the truth has no agenda. You are going to try and apply for a job in journalism some day and no one will hire you when they see this trash.
