Labor Beat: Corporate Media and Plunder of Chicago Public Education

[Hannah Bell]

video: interesting to see karen lewis & others deal with the manipulative corporate press & political flacks.

in the initial press conference, the corporate journalists keep asking the same question ("which will you choose, pay cuts or 35 students in a class" i.e. would you rather have gangrene or polio?) as if that were the only possible choice.

and no matter how often lewis says, "that's *not* the only choice, & it's the membership who decides, not me" - the hacks keep repeating the question, like slimy robots.
