BG -- The Fourth Estate is essentially gone. Its replaced by legions of press hacks who abuse the media.
The media is hungry for content. Publicists, lobbyists, and single-issue organizations push their content -- which is gladly gobbled up and displayed.
I think its very likely that this story was initially a fabrication by someone from the Union who wanted to put heat on the County. It was picked up by a hungry channel [[oddly Fox). And got spread around. They got what they wanted.
Facts do not matter. The idea that the country is abusing union workers does. They got their message out. Doesn't matter if it were refuted on the air. The choir would approve.
