Jeez this sounds serious. I'm curious though but, is this all under some kind of state law? Because it seems rather odd that the country as a whole isn't reacting to it or doing anything about it.

Hey, give fox news credit. At least they are talking about it. I haven't seen almost any coverage from any other national news source. Even WI local news is lacking! Not one of our local news channels mentioned this little court order bit. Let me set it up for ya'.

That's the thing I like about Fox though. They cover pretty much everything that's going on. MSNBC and a few others choose not to, or just have a small segment on it just because it doesn't look good for what they supposedly stand for.

Isn't a news station supposed to stand for completely unbiased and objective coverage of the news? XD

Not these days it don't. That's why I don't watch the news anymore.

Not in America apparently. I have to watch BBC World News if I want to hear unbiased news stories about what's going on in my own country, which is just plain sad.

There's been many articles about BBC being very biased too.

No matter where you turn, you're not always going to get both sides being treated equally. Sometimes they do though. That's just the world we live in. When you hear something from one network, check another one also if you care enough to know about it.

Havoc's right, a lot of news stations here are a little biased too although I've never seen anything nearly as bad as something like this. Either way, it's good to get multiple views, and BBC World is a decent station in general.

Meanwhile, the doors are still locked. They're not even letting in all the congressmen.



At this point, it doesn't matter if you're for or against Walker's plans. He's shown time and time again he has no regard for the people of WI or the law. We need to be rid of him.

Majority leader Fitzgerald admits that the bills have been politically motivated, not financially.

Breaking news, the senate has stripped out all the language about the fiscal, and have just passed only the union-busting parts of the bill. The stand off is now over, the people have lost.

I'll give them a month before the lot is recalled.

The democrats are taking it to the courts, as it was passed in violation of the law (funny, almost everything the Reps have done so far have been law-breaking moves). On the other side of the fence, it has been passed by the assembly and now only needs Walker's signature to be put into effect.



Fun fact: the new version of the bill wasn't even drafted when the senate passed it last night.

Also, here's a nice scene today: protesters were literally dragged out of the building.
