The Dallas Morning News has now officially shown itself to be
as clueless about real working people as President George Bush was in 1992 about bar code scanners.
Dec. 6, the Snooze penned something it had been getting away from for a while, something for which the Dallas Observer (the local alt-weekly) rightly criticized it in the past: The "on the one hand, on the other hand" editorial.
Details below the fold.
This particular bit of mealy-mouthed drivel is about "Wal-Mart may be good, Wal-Mart may be bad."
The editorial itself is lame enough, but here's the kicker, literally the last word of the editorial
And if you cash one of those minuscule Wal-Mart paychecks, quit your job. Paying the bills is no reason to support evil in our midst.
Apparently, Editorial Page Editor Keven Ann Willey and the rest of the Joe Barton-decimated crackerjack editorial board are too clueless to recognize that for many of its employees, Wal-Mart is their real world dream job.
WTF, are they going to go work at Family Dollar instead?
And, where is the analysis of why these wages are so low? No reference to union-busting in this editorial.
Read the rest of the editorial if you dare. You can still see the different colors of crayons in action. I laugh whenever the Snooze claims its editorial stance is "independent"; not even close.
