Do WI Republicans hate poor people.

9. Journal Communications loves to stir up the wingnut hostility

That whole rap about them and their newspaper being centrist is a bunch of bullshit. The paper is a rag, getting more and more expensive while slashing most of the substantial content. Left-leaning columnists have been offered buyout dismissals while half-assed right-wing columnists get their asses kissed. They haven't employed an editorial cartoonist for years, but I imagine it's because they'd rather run cartoons from hacks like Michael Ramirez and Lisa Benson.

And their other media properties? TMJ4 is all shock-and-awe 'journalism', with stories about EBT fraud, black criminals and dirty inner city restaurants. And don't get me started on the radio station, which is essentially the main propaganda outlet for the Wisconsin GOP, and chief asskisser for the likes of Walker and Ryan. When possible, I prefer the news on ch. 12 (ironic that Milwaukee's best news operation is owned by Hearst) or ch. 58 (which is too low-budget to do the fancy stuff). Both do straight reporting without the bullshit. Fox 6 is okay, but they're a bit heavy on the fluff.

So many people in Wisconsin are poorly informed and filled with rage because they're being pumped with nonsense from our terrible media.
