Brian Sikma, who thinks that extramarital affairs are OK as long as they're timed properly, and who is the official Minister of Propaganda for MacIver's sister group, the Bradley Foundation's Media Trackkkers, had to spout off, trying to abase the paper for there decision. What makes the paper worse in Sikma's eyes is they also dare to occasionally report the news:
A reign of censorship under the leadership of editors like George Stanley, who on the one hand refuses to run stories picked up by other outlets while also using the paper’s columnists as pawns in a political war against those same competing news mediums, threatens the future of the paper. The paper’s decision to deep six a MacIver Institute expert’s column after asking the think-tank to participate in an editoral [sic] page debate is a very recent example of this brave new era of news and opinion censorship.
It is to be expected that politicians will seize upon headlines to prove their point; it is not seemly for a single paper to provide one politician with ample coverage of his opponent while censoring from public view his own flaws and shortcomings.This is coming from a group that can't even do basic fact checking from their own stories, just as long as they can promote Walker's campaign, even if it means they violate the law in the process.
Oh, and the piece the paper ran instead of Fraley's screed? Another piece of right wing propaganda written by Alberta Darling. The paper probably went with the one with fewer spelling mistakes.
In other words, the tiff is about "I can lie better than you!" ego trips.
Doesn't it make you sad when Walker's tools can't get along?

ReplyDeleteShould be 'fewer', not 'less'. Normally, I wouldn't bother to point it out, but a grammar mistake in a sentence about spelling mistakes...
Even more hilarious is that the subject of Bertie DAHH-ling's article was "We don't want to go back to the Doyle years." Well, if you look at the evidence, we were better off under Jim Doyle, and I'd certainly go back to a time of job and income growth like we had in 2010.
ReplyDeleteThen again, RW radio has these losers so brainwashed that they think by a 3 to 1 margin that we've GAINED jobs in the last year under Walker instead of losing 24,000 like we have.
We're not brainwashed by RW radio. FACTS directly from the BLS show that we are correct.
DeleteAccording to BLS – not me - the number of persons employed in Wisconsin in March of 2011 was 2,838,145. And according the BLS – not me - the number of persons employed in Wisconsin in March of 2012 was 2,856,643. My calculator says that is an INCREASE of 18,498.
Math is hard for liberals, but if you want to see for yourself why all of us republicans KNOW that there are 18,498 more people working now than there were a year ago, feel free:

Well, it does look good when you cherry pick the information.
DeleteLook at the drop in the work force, and get that brain wash goo off my site.
The pot calling the kettle black. Imagine that...
DeleteThat's all you got? Walker must be skimping on the trolls this time around.
DeleteIt sounds to me like they are trying to pressure the paper to publish their point of view only, they don't seem to care about the truth.
ReplyDeleteAccording to the BLS (That's Bureau of Labor Statics.) 18,498 more people are working now than a year ago in WI.

Who are the real brainwashed losers???
The people that believe only the cherry picked info, such as yourself.
DeleteThe allegation is: "The paper’s decision to deep six a MacIver Institute expert’s column..."
ReplyDeleteIf the writer would kindly refresh the reader as to just what it is that allowed for the qualification for "expert"--is it the mere fact that one is employed at something called an "Institute" that is given money and doesn't have to earn it?
On the other hand, I suppose that if he has a college degree, he has a leg up on things.
