Why is the Journal Sentinel in Walker's pocket?

[AleksS]

First it was the endorsement along the lines of: "Yup, he's been a disaster for the county, but we heartily endorse him for governor!"

Now this: http://www.jsonline.com/news/opinion/112034419.html (Gridlock to the last:
In this case, gridlock is good - these state union contracts should not have been approved. But the last-minute drama illustrates why voters are dissatisfied.)

Keep that headline in mind. It's pretty clear: "these state union contracts should not have been approved,"
EXCEPT, when you read a few paragraphs in when the editor writes:

"Yes, these contracts are long overdue. They should have been approved before the election."

Yup, that's right, that's a direct quote from the same article. It's like as soon as the JS editors get Walker in their minds, they completely lose coherence and rationality. And we get editorials that declare that the contracts should have been approved, but now that Scottie has a shot at hosing WI, well, then they shouldn't be approved.

What the heck Journal. If you're going to shill for Walker, at least keep your story straight. Or get an editor for your editorials that won't miss when you let your panties (bias) show.

1. And they wonder why we call it the Milwaukee Urinal.

2. the urinal has lusted openly after the milw suburban readership for years

this readership is white conservative republican.
they have money, this is the bunch the advertisers want because
they can buy the products advertised.
You will see the journal walk the tightrope.
They will endorse a democrat for primarily city of milwaukee things because you can't totally dis the city readership, and then they will endorse someone that will make the suburbs happy.
They have been stung by the claims that the urinal is a lefty paper.

it is all business.
I don't think ethics has been involved for several years now

it is all business.

3. Maybe because of the "Chamber"?

4. It's a newspaper thing, maybe

A lot of times newspapers have one person write the story, then someone else tags on a headline.

If you pay attention to the stories, you see a lot of inconsistencies. It does provide a tip-off on which way their overall agenda and editorial bias falls...
