‘As goes Janesville’ episode


Maybe I’m just (admittedly) paranoid about anything on PBS, but did this strike anyone else as having a leftist slant? First off, clip after clip of MSNBC's commentators [i.e. Maddow, Shultz, etc] take on the situation in Wisconsin are shown (with their objective [] take on the situation, with no counterbalance). Out of all the people they talked to about the Scott Walker recall, it seems like the only people they encountered who were against it were business owners. Just about every ordinary person they talked to was anti-GOP and pro-union.....which is downright amazing considering the Walker recall failed.

Another thing that really jumped out at me was very little discussion about the possible business that this could attract. There was some vague talk about one or two companies that may come....but you would think they could do a better job of discussing this (especially considering all the business that being right-to-work has attracted to the south).

Not that this is a bad show or anything (I try to catch it when I can) but this episode really bugged me.

Yeah, you're just a paranoid right-wing nut--just shut up and relax.
