Every single tweet about the media ignoring the teacher strike in West Virginia is filled with links from NPR, LAT, NYT, WaPo and others covering the teacher strike in West Virginia

Or perhaps it is in the interest of the bottom line of corporate news to avoid Union inspired activism and focus on the never ending McResistance echo chamber.

You know many national newspapers, including LAT, NYT and WaPo, are unionized, right?

Sure. Doesn't eliminate the focus of ownership on profits. I'd love to see some data to back up your argument that these teachers are getting coverage. Just like I'd love to see the NYTimes editorial bring in even one progressive writer.

We both know there's a difference between writing a story and pushing a story. They can write 1000 stories and bury them. Front page all week had nothing, though honestly my beef is more with MSNBC. NYTimes just did their usual less-than-mediocre job. MSNBC was stone cold silent.
