So the Chicago teachers go on strike at a sensitive moment for Obama and he has no comment.
Then the MSM ‘helpfully’ releases a report the same day the strike is announced indicating that Chicago’s students are not well educated (I understand there are other driving factors and it’s not 100% teachers) which might appear to undermine the position of the strikers in the eyes of the voting public.
So the MSM helps tamp down the strike while Obama remains silent approaching the election. If it were Bush and bad for his campaign to have Chicago teachers striking, the MSM would be videotaping heart rending stories of hardship and woe - a parade of emotional educators demanding that children receive the education needed and a lament that Bush doesn’t want minorities to have an education. There would expose type reporting and ambush interviews. Reporters shouting at press conferences “Mr. President -send America’s children back to school...”
Oh and the MSM would be following Bush’s children to PRIVATE school, video taping the classrooms, grounds, meals served in the lunchroom and ethnic breakdown of the student population and contrasting it sharply with that found in Chicago and inviting viewers to draw their own conclusions as to why the president has no comment on the Chicago strike...
