Two of The Largest Unions Support Immediate Iraq Troop Withdrawal and Mainstream Media Blackout the News By David Swanson, OpEdNews.com
It's not that media have entirely refused to inform the public of this story, it's just that the outlets doing so are neither well funded nor tracked by Nexis. Google searches turn up stories on the ILCAonline.org website from the ILCA, from Press Associates Incorporated (a wire service used by many labor papers), and from AFSCME, as well as stories from FrontPageMag.com, Zmag.org, People's Weekly World, Workday Minnesota, Socialist Worker, Workers' World, Labor Educator, Under News, Anti-Imperialism, and many other labor and alternative online publications, discussion lists, and blogs.
The story of US labor opposition to the war appears to be a prime example of the corporate media's blackout of labor's issues, and yet another argument for devoting our energies to building stronger labor media.------------------------------------------- posted 6:18 AM :: reference link ::
