MSM Wall of Silence on Union Criticism of ObamaCare

CNN found time to broadcast a story about a "neighbor from hell" but as to harsh labor union criticism of "healthcare from hell," not a word. Not only is CNN maintaining a wall of silence on union opposition, expressed in a letter to Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi,  to ObamaCare but pretty much the rest of the mainstream media, with the notable exceptions of the Wall Street Journal and Fox News, are stubbornly remaining mum on the story despite President  Obama being forced to go into campaign mode to sell his unpopular healthcare law.

To read the MSM stories about opposition to that unpopular law, you would think that opposition comes primarily from Republicans. The fact that major (non-governmental) labor unions are now harshly criticizing it does not fit that narrative, thus the avoidance of that very inconvenient fact by the MSM. And the criticism by the unions is not mild by any stretch of the imagination. It is extremely harsh as you can see in this Wall Street Journal article:

Psst! Mum's the word. We must not let the public know that major labor unions also HATE ObamaCare. Just keep up the fiction that opposition comes mainly from those wascally weepublicans.

But, if Citizens United were to create a little news, the lsm would be all over them like flies on king hussein. And yes, the unions are starting to balk at obiecare now that they are finding out the cadillacs are being discontinued for them.

The unions will get their exemption the Friday night of Labor Day weekend.

Everyone away. Congress on break. A couple of articles by the MSM weekend news dump division to make it look like they investigated. Two weeks of Fox coverage which the MSM will attribute to an attack on Obama.

And that will be it.

Ya gotta love the old post 5 p.m. Friday new dumps. No one pays attention all weekend and by Monday all you get is “Huh?. What news story?”
