In an article this morning by Ryan Foley of the AP (no, I never heard of him either), comes the pronouncement that in order for there to be compromise in Wisconsin to resolve the current standoff, three Republican state senators will have to stand up to their leadership and the governor. That's it! Nothing more! Maybe someone should tell Foley and the AP that a resolution could also come if just one Democrat state senator stands up to his leadership and the unions.
It never fails to amaze me that when there is an issue that is breaking in favor of the Republican/conservative position, the media talks about compromise and brave actions by a few "reasonable" Republicans. So the media is looking for three senators in Wisconsin just like it looked for Republicans to compromise on raising taxes in the current economic slowdown or passing cap and trade legislation in the Senate. On the other hand, when an issue is a favorite of the Democrats, there is never a call in the media for compromise. Do you remember all those articles calling on the Democrats in Congress to compromise with the Republicans on the Obamacare bill? Yeah, neither do I!
The media is transparent in its bias. No more needs be said.
