In light of the scant coverage that the Wisconsin atrocity got from local and national sources, it is time that we find another source and turn our attention to those who cover the news, all news fairly. Considering all of the tea party stories with no hard questions that the public was subjected to and considering the 24/7 coverage of Egypt, the lack of coverage in Wisconsin was an insult, out of balance and out of compliance with any sense of journalistic fairness. Just try and find out about the brave house members in Indiana or Ohio that have been battling the same anti worker legislation. All initiated by the organization known as ALEC, which is the corporate funded American Legislative Exchange Council.
From now on, we will have important videos and links to reliable sources available on this page.
On MSNBC, the Ed show is thorough and hard hitting. click here there are several reports separated by very short commercials but WELL worth it. If you do not have MSNBC, you can Google or find him on YouTube.
Last but not least is our own Labor Tribune. click here Ed Finklelstein has been a powerful voice in the side of the story that the conservative media ignores. With guest opinions and columnists, it is a good read in print or online
please forward this page to those who need to see it

See the Michael Moore speech at the capital in Wisconsin. Moore was bowled over by what he found in Madison as apposed to what has been portrayed in any media. In this speech he takes on the conservative farce and says what we would expect our elected officials to say. Mr. Moore is a union person to the core which is probably why he is the target of hateful, slanderous conservative talk shows. click here
