Gentlemen, welcome yet another low information voter to our forums.
Well Mr.chainsaw, you "Guessed" wrong. Rarely if ever listen to those folks. Read the Washington Post, US News & World report daily, supplemented by WSJ, Fortune, Bloomberg, & The Economist primarily, you should try it.

Apologize for the churn on this forum, but I had to laugh when the original post referenced reporting "like fox News", because of their proven and documented inaccuracies, and biases. The thread was on the TA, and in principle we should all want the same from our union leadership, the unvarnished truth of the TA contents and ramifications, and the delta from our current contract. Also a "realistic" appraisal, understanding and awareness of what is, and isn't achievable in further negotiations.

You're unfounded characterization of "low info voter" couldn't be further from the truth. I do quite a bit of daily in depth reading, and can clearly recognize the inaccuracies of that network, with detailed knowledge garnered from sources listed above.

If you were truly informed and had an unbiased multi-referenced understanding of the detail, depth and nuance of today's issues you might recognize the disparities as well. But if that's too much, Google "fox news inaccuracies" and read for yourself. You'll find that studies from Stanford, University of Maryland, Farleigh Dickinson, Pew Research Center, Kaiser Family Foundation, and more have come to the same conclusion, their viewers are more likely to be misinformed on specific issues when compared to viewers of comparable media, and the biased reporting.

Again- back on topic, we want an unbiased dessemination of the TA contents and changes. We can all agree on that.
