    About damn time organized labor started pushing back hard on the insane levels of spin generated by our media orgs. I so deeply wish more unions would follow their lead. Also, as a software engineer, I so deeply wish I had a proper national or regional union to join.

      The largest problem with those propaganda “news” organizations is they choose what to talk about, so this “pushback” won’t be heard by anyone who needs to hear it…

      We’re all in our chosen echo chambers and live completely different “realities.”

      :(

        Well in terms of root cause, they do that because their primary corporate motive is profitability, full stop. That’s it. That’s the only consistent goal.
