Wisconsin: WOW, that is some spin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Court's ruling in favor of State worker's right to collective bargaining is twisted to smear State workers. And people still wonder why we lost the recall.

The Progressive says “Collective Bargaining Lives Again in Wisconsin”

The Wisconsin State Journal’s headline for the same news is “State Workers Found In Contempt”.



A defeat of Walker’s cold war on workers is too much for this newspaper to broadcast in plain language in a headline.
Too much for even one day.

We all know that the Koch Kourt Wisconsin Supreme Court will have its way with this issue on November 11th. That’s TWENTY WHOLE DAYS (and a few hours) of guaranteed extra freedom for Wisconsin workers.

...


These shortening, dark days must be unbearable for the board members of Lee Enterprises. I hope the doldrums don’t seep into the Associated Press. Mary Junck, the Director on Lee Enterprises’ Board also serves as Chair on the AP board.

UPDATE: The online version of this Wisconsin State Journal story is headlined “WERC staffers held in contempt for ignoring ruling in Act 10 challenge” – as of 6:43PM Central Time.
