MSNBC is running and Martin Bashir is dealing with school bullies. Yes, it is an important matter, BUT... we have a MAJOR STORY in the midwest... another useless program.

Sometimes that's the way I think our media looks at it. Of course the other side of me says that they are doing the bidding of big business.

4. that could be due to the fact |

the lead print newspaper type setters were bought out long ago and that union was kicked to the side to be forgotten about.
Once media congomeration became the rule, no one needed them.

papers of record were not keen on reporting labor news. Why Labor HAD their own papers. We gave those up, and now we will have to build all that from the bottom up.

6. I think unions needed some shaking up |
|
People have gotten so complacent. They seem to think the awful conditions of the early 20th century really can't happen to them and that there aren't people out there trying to take us back to that. I'm glad to see people are getting a wake up call.
