Notice that he almost always uses GOP sources and GOP framing in his articles? Combine that with the fact his degree is from fundie-laden Bryan College (motto: "Christ Above All"), and it's pretty clear as to where his loyalties lie.<br /><br /> But his bosses seem to OK certain subjects for him to write about, but never ask about others.

And our media refuses to offer any insight into that.<br />What with the unfair and unworkable Voter ID arrangement Walker has trumped up, the latest audit report on WEDC, the latest jobs creation stats, it all points to failure under his watch.<br />What an awful joke this is when the media spoonfeeds the public that Walker says "People expect a leader that's going to take responsibility for their actions." <br />All Walker does is project out on others that anything that doesn't work out for Wisconsin is someone else's fault -- he's always out of the loop that way. All of the "Bold" jobs plan variations SKW has presented have done very little to accomplish what they advertise.<br />That is the real story during this election.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-79057584214737893322014-09-21T15:51:49.054-05:002014-09-21T15:51:49.054-05:00Bice is a hack and anyone that holds him up as a w...Bice is a hack and anyone that holds him up as a watchdog is either an idiot or a repug laughin' all the way to the polls.<br /><br />Funny how a few relatively honest posts about a little of scott walker's corruption and criminality makes some cheer for the biggest propaganda shill.<br /><br />Last fall, he wrote a bogus piece that stated anyone signing a recall petition had no credibility telling the truth about walker.<br /><br />jake -- you should know better than to think it is his bosses holding him back.

Firing the consultant just lends a measure of credibility to those making a big stink about this, and gives this non-story a second trip thru the news cycle with the firing.<br /><br />Another angle to consider-- Burke's plan had been out for a long time already. Why did this suddenly become "breaking news" on Thurs night and into Friday? Might it have had something to do with the WEDC audit that was released on Friday? http://legis.wisconsin.gov/lab/reports/14-11full.pdf<br /><br />The audit didn't seem to get nearly as much airtime as this ginned up plagiarism non-story... and it shows a garbage fire of incompetence going on at WEDC. Loads of undocumented/unauthorized expenses, inconsistent accounting, the loan portfolio not being reconciled against the accounting system(!), $77k in merit awards, lack of written procedures, failure to properly assess risk (looking only at total amount past due rather than total outstanding balance), employee turnover problems... and a bunch of loans either written-off of granted deferments.
