7. Bernie was NOT told the union refused to negotiate.

Bernie was promised by Hearst that Hearst would negotiate by Dec. 19th - still in the future. Hearst told DWS a bald-faced lie, i.e., that the union refused to negotiate, which she swallowed whole cloth, and has not refuted or confronted them on. That's our gal, Debbie! Never fails to screw over traditional Dem. values, like union representation of workers.

SHE picked the station; SHE picked the ridiculous date of the Saturday night before Christmas. SHE is the one who has the power to pressure the station to the bargaining table, or at least TRY! But, really! how outrageous! the unionized workers want to continue the pension plans already in place! Who do they think they are!?!?!? Since when do Third Wayers give a flying f*** about the working class?

What do we get from Lil Debbie? The traditional 3rd Way crickets!

On edit: I corrected the deadline date for which Bernie negotiated. It is Dec. 19th. I hit the wrong key and had typed the 14th. IT IS THE NINETEENTH - OVER A WEEK AWAY.
