California Teachers Union Cartoon - this will make you puke.

[Matt1970]

Never mind the inaccuracies in it, it shows a rich guy pissing all over the working class. Disgusting. Unions should be ashamed of themselves.

I see no problem with the cartoon.

 

[Moonbeam]

You got one thing right. I saw Hannity and puked.

 

[Pr0d1gy]

Seems accurate to me. Well, only the cartoon part.

 

[Matt1970]

Seems accurate to me. Well, only the cartoon part.

I am sure it does.

I find it hilarious that of all news channels Fox News rails against indoctrination of the American public, and labels the cartoon as being "radical" just because it criticizes what many of the rich are actually doing.

The problem with modern media is that most of the news agencies are owned by a few conglomerates, and they feign objectivity, despite doing the bidding of those in power.

You linked Fox News, which is exactly the same thing.
Enjoy your shower.

It's not as if the teachers union is protecting pedophiles, child molesters, rapists, addicts and allowing them to continue to prey on children................... wait, that's exactly what the teachers union is doing. It's OK though because it's a union and unions are good.

[Exterous]

While I think it is in bad taste and I doubt it will help their cause much - it is hardly puke worthy.

Furthermore why should all unions be ashamed for the act of a single one? Does a small company in Vermont need to be ashamed because a similar but otherwise unaffiliated company in Nevada does something people may disagree with?

Yeah, I have no doubt that unions will at times take extreme measures to protect their due-paying members even when they should be fired for incompetency or put in jail.

But then, that has nothing to do with what's being discussed right now, unless the cartoon portrays teacher's unions as angels without fault.

The argument still holds that what many of the rich are doing goes against the interest of the majority, and what many of us hold us as moral behavior.

I get the same reaction with any Rightist.

 

[IGBT]

those are the morons teaching you kids. Cause and effect. Now you know why your kids are morons and soo screwed.

For some reason Cavuto does it for me. God, I'd love to pound that smirk off his face.

Doesn't the Catholic Chirch do the same things?

Alex Jones, is that you? Are you going to cry for us now?

God almighty! Fucking idiots. I'll bet you're all in for the Boy Scouts and Catholic Church though, right?

You're paying the teachers to prey on your children and other peoples children and they're laughing at you all the way to the bank. Go unions!

"...21 percent were targets of educators, while the remaining 79 percent were targets of other students." Ohh man from your 2nd link, if we were to focus on dealing with sexual misconduct, we would have to look at the students and not the teachers; as there is a overwhelming larger number of students then teacher in the education system.

Back on topic though, its Fox News... until it comes from the BBC or CNN, I take such coverage as a bias. I have learned over the years that center media outlets do have a view no matter what the viewership tends to believe.

I'm in love with Kirsten Powers.

Didn't we hear about it on the news for a long time? And rightfully so. The Teachers Unions barely even got a mention and most people don't even know about it.

So it depends on who covers it as to whether or not people should be upset about it?

No, it's about how they spin it. You can take your news from Fox News. Its probably the only news you'll look at. I like to look at different news station from within the US and outside if possible. To entirely base your opinion on just one presentation of such a position is just nit picking.

I don't agree with the cartoon but the fact that they use terms such as evil and demonizing; talking about rich people are evil, is totally negligent of what news is suppose to be. As a professor always told me, news is news is news. I shouldn't care about their discussion, just about the news, I just need to know why they are doing it, what it's about, and what they expect from it. If they can't give that to me... then they aren't doing me any favors with what they're talking about. I'm not dumb enough to need them to "show" me the right opinion.

If you think my kids are morons and screwed, then I wonder what depth of hell you are living in. lol

I hope they do teach my children this. I'd rather they got the facts than a "fair and balanced" education.

You guys should listen to Hmoob, he knows what he is talking about. I used to believe exactly what you guys do until I started getting information from more than just Fox News.

So it depends on who covers it as to whether or not people should be upset about it?

It depends on HOW they cover it. Fox tells you how to think, actual news outlets just tell you what happened.

 

[Xecuter]

Nope, I didn't puke. It's a shame; I was really looking foward to it.

 

[Atreus21]

Matt, this is the kind of thread that is going to make you wonder if you're the last sane person on earth.
