Might Walker Earn A Shutdown PolitiFact False Finding

The Walker administration said the feds told them to shut down some park facilities. The feds say no they didn't. An episode of Walker/states rights posturing?

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) this week directed a state agency to resist a federal order to close certain parks during the federal government shutdown, prompting headlines from some conservative media outlets. But the National Parks Service now says no such order was given. Or not exactly, anyway.

As always -- you entirely miss the piont -- but your building up false credemtials that you are a BLUE "rock star" that is the critical mass in "purple" wiscosins (another media lie).

And if you choose to let this be public, you will pretend to be a victim here -- like it is somehow unfair to point out that the real problem isn't walker & politifact is not honest and objective either.

You do consistently correctly point out, however, that even the lying liars at journal communications find walker to be a habitual liar -- maybe takes one to know one.

You give the media that created this a "free pass" and, since you are old enough to remember watergate, there is absolutely no legitimate excuse to constantly give your boss journal communications a free pass.

Are you contractually prohibited from telling the truth about your employer or do you just lack the courage.

I doubt you will publish this and even if you do, you will mock that this type of comment appears with some frequency here -- but only when we can stomach the self-promotion and absolute disregard for truth about the media conglomerate you work for.

THIS TYPE OF COMMENT GETS POSTED HERE BECAUSE YOU REFUSE TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE and instead pretend to be a victim and create a strawman that somehow it is unfair to ask you to tell the truth about journal communications.

Shameful, really, coming from an "old school" journalist.

You never actually believed the lie of objective journalism, did you? That somehow every perspect, no-matter how divergent from reality need to be part of the dialog if a repug says it?

"He was the one who really directed me to find a way to make this work," Stepp said. "He was the one that said, 'Look, what are we going to do about this? And how do we make as little pain as possible on our constituents?' That's our job."

Funny stuff. That's certainly not how Governor Walker has been doing his job so far, unless by "constituents" Stepp means "major donors." Who knew the Koch brothers are hikers?
