To the barricades! Or rather, to the virtual barricades since that requires much less effort. And in the case of lethargic Politico labor reporter the less real effort the better since according to his "work" schedule, Elk has produced only five Politico stories in fourteen weeks with absolutely no work performed by him in over five months.

Ironically, Elk is now the one demanding that Politico be unionized. Um, before you advocate for "workers' rights" don't you have to at least do a little work? The most work that Elk has actually done in over five months was producing a semi-literate workers' manifesto relayed to the world by Eric Wemple at the Washington Post:

This clown makes Maynard G. Krebs look like a workaholic.

They’ll banish him to Gilligan’s Island.

[Don Corleone]

Not able or willing to work makes him a prime candidate for a Union member.

I think Politico reporters should be unionized, be paid a minimum of $100 an hour, full bennies, 8 weeks paid vacation, and have the right to refuse editing.

What about bonuses. Don’t forget some bonuses.

Yes, Politico reporters deserve big bonerses.

[Ditto]

Be careful what you wish for. Obama might make them Fed employees and give them all the bennies you suggest on the taxpayer's tab.

See Greece.

Newsbusters is pretty lethargic, too. This is an old story.

About Elk committing ethnic fraud by checking the Native American financial aid box in college? Newsbusters BROKE that story.

Yes. Like the average FReeper, I didn’t read to the end of the article to get the link to an article from June 17, 2015.
The other stuff is from last year.
