McCarthy Journalism: Milwaukee Journal publishes searchable data base of recall signers

http://cognidissidence.blogspot.com/2012/05/mccarthy-journalism.html



The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel is proudly announcing that they are now hosting the recall signatures online in a searchable database.

My question is when will they host an online searchable database for the people that signed Scott Walker's nomination papers, both in 2010 and 2012?

How do we know that his nomination papers weren't signed by Adolph Hitler or Mickey Mouse? Plus we have a right to know what judges, what elected officials and what reporters at MJS and other news sources signed the nomination papers.

To do any less gives them the appearance of bias.

They can now be liable for any harm done to the recall signers if they used the database to target people.

You want to do something about it, organize boycotts of prominent advertisers of the Journal. That will get their attention.
