Tune in to Big Ed (MSNBC) to find out more about the OTHER court decision today

While Hobby Lobby is getting all the attention, (and I don't begrudge it), there was another decision today. It is anti-labor, and Ed Shultz doesn't like it at all.

Why is he the only one covering this? At least I haven't heard anything else. But we all know how hot the corporate media is to cover labor issues.

I'm going to listen to his show now. Hope you tune in.

three decades and how that corresponds exactly with the decline in labor unions. Of course corporations know that, and want cheap labor above all else. Divide and conquer seems to be working.

Well, that is to be expected. But it's funny that none of the more "mainstream" news shows seem to want to touch it. I admire Ed for covering it. Keeping workers ignorant is a main part of the strategy.
