The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel's editorial board announced its endorsement of Governor Walker Sunday, saying his "recall isn't justified."

Here is the link to JS statement: http://www.jsonline.com/news/opinion/we-recommend-walker-his-removal-isnt-justified-l55ecb6-152111305.html

1. Shocked! Shocked I say!...n/t

[tartan2]

2. Money talks

somebody has a fatten bank account!

[Scuba]

3. The Urinal/Sentinel has been doing everything in its power to prop Walker up and ...

... support his campaign of lies. This is expected and will be dismissed by all those who know the truth.

Problem is, not all know, and the paper reaches many in the State.

Our response needs to be KEEP WORKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

11. Meanwhile, their front page reports the DNR doing fewer inspections and prosecutions under Walker

Do the editorial board members read their own newspaper?

4. Right wing rag like the Boston Herald and NY Post. Bunch of crap. Expected. JUST KEEP WORKING !

5. I saw that this morning and couldn't believe it!

I thought it had to be a joke! Can't imagine what they were thinking.

(Anyone know if they endorsed Obama in '08? If so, I wonder if that means anything for this year?)

6. And the conservatives in the area call the JS a rag. Maybe because the JS

doesn't put out enough propaganda to make Goebbels blush like Belling, Wagner, Sykes, McKenna, and Weber?

[undeterred]

7. Don't pay attention to that piece of shit.

[hue]

8. I don't subscribe to this POS! Time to flush this Urinal for good!!

But it's important to realize the subtle way they spin/twist their reasoning to influence the general public.


Here's the U/S hypocrisy: "The Editorial Board will not recommend candidates in the recall elections. We believe policy arguments are best resolved on the floors of legislative bodies or at the ballot box during regular elections." - Journal Sentinel Editorial Board, July 9, 2011

10. That's my new mantra - don't share or post Urinal Sentinal articles.

This fishwrap as well as any other publication endorsing Wanker are dead to me.

Having lost all credibility, everything they publish is now suspect and not worthy of sharing, posting or purchasing.

9. DPW chair, Mike Tate's response (as posted on Facebook)

How to win the endorsement of the Journal Sentinal:
1. Systematically drive MKE county to the brink of bankruptcy, batter human services to the point where people die in your care, run such a corrupt administration it results in a two year long probe with multiple people charged with felonies.
2. Don't tell the truth about your plans when you run for Gov.
3. Follow a radical agenda that splinters WI in a way never before seen in history.
4. Oversee the loss of more jobs and more private companies than any other state.
5. Spend all your time flying around the country raising millions from people that advocate radical causes.
6. Run a dis honest, unethical and simply false campaign.
7. For the grand finale, spend millions of dollars trashing Milwaukee, tearing it apart.

There are no words to describe the pure disgust and disregard I have for the management of the JS. It used to mean something to be a newspaper, to speak for a community, for those that didn't have big money or a voice. Not any more.

There are no words here.

I think that's pretty well said.
