Talk Radio/Walker/WMC Alliance On Full Display
Where Walker will tell low-income, Medicaid-eligible residents to re-lace their bootstraps:
So creepy....
ReplyDeleteI see Patience Roggensack will be presenting as well.
ReplyDeleteBut it's a non-partisan post, supreme court justice.
or not
A few thoughts about the flyer:
ReplyDelete1) the only man not wearing a tie: Good Time Charlie. (Need to work on that gravitas, Chuckles!)
2) not included in the brightest minds as having some knowledge of a particular subject area: Sykes and Walker.
3) typically an entertainer of some sort is the emcee. Guess planners have stuck with tradition on this one. Chuckles is most definitely an entertainer of some sort.
4) . . . unless they wanted to give Chuckles a promotion from 'usher.' 'Scuse me, seat attendant.
5) "Closing Speaker" seems an apt metaphor for our Guv Walker:
Closed for high speed rail business.
Closed for wind turbine business.
Closed for green technology businesses.
Closed for business.
Closed for innovation, creativity, 21st century thinking, real leadership.
Closed minds.
Closed the capitol.
Closing public schools.
Closing unions.
Closing health care.
Closing the environment.
Closing the middle class.
Closing off public comment/debate.
Closing the public commons.
Closing opportunity.
He really is an expert closing speaker.
You have your side of the street, rowan, proppin' up the propaganda.
ReplyDeleteThis has much less to do with an "alliance" that is now revealed and much more to do with a disinformation network that created the illegitimate gov. scott walker and fraudulently hoisted him up as a "rock star".
It is very disappointing to see an experienced media man proclaim this is something new or out of the ordinary -- it is what has been going on for years in Wisconsin and you have your role in it -- propping up journal communications.
This is shameless propaganda and your work illustrates the lie of objective journalism -- that truth doesn't matter.
to Anon 2:21 p.m. Nowhere do I say this is new. I've been writing about corporate power in this state for more than 40 years. And you can't even spell my name correctly, so the joke is on you.
ReplyDeleteGovernor Walker was sponsored by Security Health Plan/Marshfield Clinic? Did they pay him a speaking fee?
ReplyDeleteMarshfield Clinic? That's where WEDC Chair Reed Hall came from. Little quid pro quo?
