4. Remember the Labor section of your newspaper

Tue Oct 5, 2021, 11:04 AM

Oct 2021

There used to be a section in most newspapers that was devoted entirely to labor and stories about labor unions and workers. The back of it would be the help wanted ads. Then it changed to only being a section in the Sunday paper. And eventually it disappeared altogether and only the "business" section of the paper was present. Occasionally labor stories make it to the business section still, but they're usually outnumbered 40-1 by stories from the business owners/corporate perspective.

The perspective that matters most, the perspective of working people, no longer gets told.

100% truth. Corporate media is becoming more and more fascist, a slow steady creep. Alexander Of Assyria Oct 2021 #2
