A story CNN won't report

There's a lot of important stories CNN won't report - and not just war pieces that were bowdlerized by totalitarian foreign regimes that the Bush crime family supports.

This story is about CNN's own attack on working people.

Evidently, CNN fired over 100 workers 5 years ago all because they were union members. This firing was illegal: It's against federal law to fire employees because they organize. Bush hasn't been too serious about enforcing this law - because he thinks laws are just "damn pieces of paper" - but that is the law.

But now an administrative law judge has ordered CNN to rehire the employees. The conservative-leaning cable channel has also been ordered to recognize the unions.

It wouldn't have taken 5 years to reach this decision if Bush had just enforced labor laws, but like I said, he's the "damn pieces of paper" guy.
