Can I get A Witness?

KSTP fancies itself an eyewitness news organization, yet it seems unable to keep an eye on the AFSCME Strike at the U. No reports on their on-line web presence since September 5th. No wonder eyewitness testimony, we mean news, is so unreliable. Of course, they are not alone, WCCO looks to be just as blind to the news going on at the U. At least, KARE found its way back to the campus today. Though the administration PR hack justified the KARE's emphasis on a conflict frame between the administration and the faculty, the real conflict here is between the U administration and the AFSCME workers on strike. Hold the U adminstration accountable for communicating threats to faculty rather than negotiating in good faith with AFSCME.
