As a local, one of the interesting things is that WaPo has always been anti-union, especially when it came to the unions of their own employees. It’s obviously worse now, but even in their supposed liberal inside-the-Beltway heyday, they were anti-union whenever given the chance. Canceling my subscription almost 15yrs ago remains something I have no regrets about.

Wow. Who knew that allowing wealthy individuals to purchase the means of disseminating information would result in that information favouring the views of that wealthy owner. I’m sure unlimited political donations doesn’t result in anything similar, either.

Well, the Supreme Court said money is speech, so I guess they think so.

I often wonder if a wealthy individual (or several) encouraged the mob to infiltrate unions in the last century in order to destabilize them.

That’s always been a thing since the time of the Pinkertons and hasn’t changed.
Rockstar games was reported to have had a mole within the Glasgow software union they busted up by firing all of the workers. That jackass did it for extra time off apparently.

They don’t even need to hire infiltrators. All they need is a few lawyers and some politicians in their pockets.
