This ‘well informed’ article in The Wall Street Journal, here quoted by the Economist, owned and operated by Murdoch and his bevy of sycophantic scribes help to manufacture paranoia about the mortal political danger of Public Sector Unions. Let us not forget that the ‘Financial Reform’ of 1999 enabled the creation of derivatives that were key in undermining the world economy and that Murdoch and his economic allies at the Economist were it’s most vociferous proponents-shouting the benefits of this ‘Reform’ as a panacea. Now amidst the ruins of this ‘economic reform’ they seek to target others as a tactic to take the onus off themselves, by attacking the stronghold of the Democratic Party’s power : the Public Sector Unions. The “Free Market Ideology’ failed miserably to deliver on the promises it made; and Murdoch and the Economist were its chief advocates, its chief apologists. But just to play it politically safe, to cover their asses, their new target is the dread and very politically effective ‘Public Sector Unions’: the newest target of their reactionary malice and bankrupt theologizing. The quotation of each other as sources of ‘facts’ is clue to their mendacity.
