As part of the new austerity package the "more right than the other parties" government shutdown the entire national broadcast network, ERT, which was sort of Greece's equivelent of the BBC. This allowed them to fire all 2,700 union employees who were all political appointees.
The government immediately started a new national station with only six hundred employees. They want to move the new station into the old headquarters but the ex employees like good government drones kept coming to work and broadcasting for five months after being fired. So the police cleared them out.
Similar things have been happening in Argentina. Except there the government has been siding with the fired employees who “occupied” their former workplace, allowing them to stay and run it.
Coming soon to an Obamaized nation near you.
I has a fantasy about President Palin doing just that to PBS. Is that wrong?
