Scott Walker's Unbalanced Media Coverage

Here is a thought to chew on.

Remember Wisconsin? It's that little state run by Republican Governor Scott Walker. Unions and liberals couldn't hate the guy more, but the economy seems to love him. He has managed to created close to 50,000 jobs since the raid on Wisconsin's capital. Of those 50,000 jobs, 13,000 were created last month. Nationwide there was only 18,000 jobs created that month, so more than 70% of those were created in Wisconsin. Yet...did we hear about it in the mainstream media?? Where was the coverage? Where was the praise for him and what his policies have done for that state, in so little time? He certainly dominated the mainstream media when they were shredding him for taking on the unions.Who can argue now that the mainstream media is balanced??

And where is the mainstream coverage on the story that after the efforts of Wisconsin Union liberals to recall Republican legislators FAILED! After unions pumped MILLIONS of dollars into that state so liberals could take control of the Wisconsin legislature, they FAILED! Where was that story? I tell you....NOTHING on ABC. Period. Crickets. 47 seconds on NBC, and 3 minutes on CBS. Can you imagine if the results had gone the other way??? The coverage would have been mind boggling. Balanced??? Pshhhhh. There are still 2 democratic recall elections this Tuesday. I can bet you there won't be ANY coverage. Especially if one of those democrats get beat.

Now Governor Walker is creating jobs, and lots of them. As most educated people know, you need private sector taxpayers to support those working on the government payroll, so technically Governor Walker is saving a lot of public employee jobs with his actions. Even some of those private sector jobs could be union jobs. I wonder if some of the recipients of those jobs will look a little more favorably on Governor Walker now? Probably not.

By the way...Wisconsin kept there credit rating in tact. Just saying. Maybe Obama should take some notes.
