Labor Media May Be Our Best Hope Against the Corporate Version By David Swanson, ILCAonline.org
As documented by Andy Zipser, in an article titled 'The Labor Press: watchdog, lapdog, or canary in the mine shaft?' the labor movement has done this in the past. Indeed, the labor press was so large 50 years ago that the Wall Street Journal worried, prior to the 1952 elections, that 'the influence of the labor press could be a potent factor in determining voting results.' The labor press was important enough to prompt President-elect Jack Kennedy to send a message to the 1960 convention of the ILPA (predecessor to the ILCA), expressing his 'deep gratitude for the unprecedented support which the labor press gave to the Kennedy-Johnson ticket.'------------------------------------------- posted 8:36 AM :: reference link ::
