Lansing Mayor Stands Up To Fox News Propagandist

Declaring that he was "sick of the double standard" that allowed banks to receive no-strings-attached government bailout money while automobile workers are asked to take pay and benefit cuts before receiving help from Washington, Lansing, Mich., mayor Virg Bernero tears into a Fox News anchor who, among other things, peddled the "auto-workers-make-$70-an-hour" lie to suggest that auto workers need to take "deep cuts" in wages and benefits. GM should not be penalized, Bernero says, for stepping up to the plate and providing a decent middle-class lifestyle to its workers. What's unsustainable, he says, is the race to the bottom being encouraged by the likes of Fox News personalities.
