Fire Marcos Breton from the Sac Bee

The Issue

Journalism as the Fourth Estate of Government is at a critical juncture in American history. Many media companies are in a state of disarray as they adjust to a new media landscape with abysmally low job security for most journalists. However, opinion columnist/blogger Marcos Breton has withstood several rounds of layoffs at the Sacramento Bee, the city's only paper of record. Sacramentans, and Americans more generally, desperately need  hard-hitting, investigative journalism that brings to light real problems faced by those who are victims of the Kleptocracy that has become both Sacramento's and America's governing apparatus. Sign this petition to call on the Bee to fire Breton and hire eager journalists who will truly engage with their journalistic responsibilities.
