MADISON, Wis. (AP) — The fight over Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker's signature policy achievement, a law effectively ending collective bargaining for most public employees, ended Thursday with the state Supreme Court declaring it to be constitutional.

Passage of the law in 2011 put Wisconsin at the center of a nationwide battle over union rights, as well as fueling Walker's rise to national prominence and added him to the mix of possible 2016 presidential candidates.

Anger over the law led to Walker being forced to stand for recall in 2012; he won, making him the first governor in U.S. history to withstand such a vote. Walker is up for re-election this November, the third time he will be on the ballot in four years.


Another candidate for most ignored story by MSM. Wouldn't help comrade Brock.

Another head-scratcher. You post an Associated Press wirestory about Scott Walker's court decision.. and then whine about it not being reported.

The media is against you...the intelligentsia, too, as well as scientists and the U.N. It must be hell going through life with the playing field uneven and the game always rigged against you.

[Dr. Strangelove]

Reported by the AP...and I heard about it on NPR while driving home today.

IGNORED!!!!

[Jungle Rat]

[Professor Tiger]

What does the Today show do from 7:00-7:20am? What does the NYT, WP put on the front page? What does ABCNBCCBS report from 6:30-7:00pm? What does CNN do......uhmmmmm, never mind cuz nobody is watching. Show me/post where the Walker story is reported in these locations and I'll STFU!!ll

The only way to find a story about a Republican/Conservative doing something right is to search the internet(or Foxnews)....So if you want to say it's on the internet is the same as saying the MSM is reporting....go ahead, but I know you're not that stoopid. You and I and DSL read this, but your average welfare/undocumented dem gets 99.9% of his/her info from the MSM, and they believe it!

[bluetick]

Umm..nothing on Fox News front page about Walker and it's been less than 24 hrs.

guess a Wisconsin court decision can't compete with Otter Attacks Boy, Grandmother in Washington River

edit:
Then I went looking through the 12 tabs and countless web pages and couldn't find the story anywhere at Foxnews.com, not even in the Politics section. Damn. I went to NYTimes.com and found the Walker verdict under their Politics section.

One gets the impression that the Foxnews site favors stories about animal attacks, men exposing themselves, and women neglecting their children.

You just described The Goat Pen.

I'd like to watch a story about Toe exposing himself and then being involved in an animal attack. Preferably by a grizzly...

You forgot missing teenagers, celebrity news with racy photos, and the sad plight of billionaires.

[Jungle Rat]

A Grizzly? Might as well just have him licked to death by a Lion.

So the GOP-majority special House committee investigating Benghazi found that the Obama administration did NOT intentionally mislead or lie about the attack on the Consulate, and that the administration did not order a stand-down or withhold military assets. Innocent on all charges.

Innocent. All charges. Benghazi. GOP-majority.

House Intelligence Committee, led by Republicans, has concluded that there was no deliberate wrongdoing by the Obama administration in the 2012 attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans, said Rep. Mike Thompson of St. Helena, the second-ranking Democrat on the committee.

The panel voted Thursday to declassify the report, the result of two years of investigation by the committee. U.S. intelligence agencies will have to approve making the report public.

Thompson said the report "confirms that no one was deliberately misled, no military assets were withheld and no stand-down order (to U.S. forces) was given."

[AlabamAlum]

That's some pretty impressive integrity and nonpartisanship justice by the Republicans.

Good work.

[hedge]

That was reported by a democrat on the committee. We can't be sure he's not lying...

may they all burn in hell!

[Professor Tiger]

At this point, what does it matter?
