The media will often go ballastic over busiess contributions.....yet where is the "equal time" on labor unions supporting directly and indirectly the Dems?
Check this out from Michael Barone:
"The mainstream press hasn’t shown much interest in reporting on unions’ campaign spending, which amounted to some $400,000,000 in the 2008 cycle. And it hasn’t seen fit to run long investigative stories on why public-employee unions — the large majority of whom work for state and local governments — contribute so much more to campaigns for federal office.
Nor has it denounced the Supreme Court’s decision last January in Citizens United allowing unions to spend members’ dues on politics without their permission and without disclosure."
Check this out from The Economist:
"The Obama administration has been more generous. Amid savage private-sector job cuts, one-third of the funds from the 2009 stimulus bill went to state and local governments, mainly to rescue public-sector employees."

So why won't the media tell us about any of this?
