Walker said Israel trip 'not photo op,' newspaper runs his Twitter photo page one

Editors at the Journal Sentinel chose to illustrate a story about Walker's absences from Wisconsin with a hard copy edition/page one/above the fold photo posted by Walker on his campaign Twitter feed after his return from the trip to Israel Walker had earlier said was "not a photo op."

 I noted the contradiction between Walker's "not a photo op" statement and his repetitive photo Tweeting from Israel, but someone at the Journal Sentinel gave Walker what he really wanted.

    MJS is a subsidiary of Walker Inc.

    The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel hasn't been awarded a Pulitzer Prize since 2011, the year they helped propel Scott Walker to office and started carrying water for him.

    MJS has failed the citizens of Wisconsin -- what a sorry excuse for a newspaper.

    Just more MJS propaganda, but no one has published more pro-Walker propaganda than MJS. And when MJS publishes the rest of the pro-Walker propaganda, the rest of the state does likewise, because they lead the rightwing media echo-chamber.

    This is the newspaper that republished essentially word-for-word Koch brothers' sponsored lies about Mary Burke was fired from TREK. Until this last-minute "October Surprise" (propaganda) polls showed Mary Burke in a dead-heat and within the margin of error of Scott Walker.

    MJS is showing their true colors today, but remember, they literally stole the November 2014 election with pro-Walker propaganda. This is who MJS is.

    Journal and Sentinel journalists and editors of the past made me listen for the thump of two daily newspapers hitting the porch--one at 6:30 AM, the other at supper time.
    Bill Janz, Sanders, Paul Hayes, Sandy Cota, Wade Mosby, Jean Otto, Dan Patrinos, Drew and perhaps dozen more...were favorites of mine.
    I do not pay for a subscription. I do need to check the obits a couple times a week and appreciate the availability of a no-cost edition that still looks like an actual newspaper.

    Looks we know who's bought MJS.

    There was a great, in-depth Wisconsin State Journal piece today about Walker's "I'll throw them under the bus" WEDC. Maybe the Madison dailies will step up.
