If 800+ taxpayers demand lower taxes, and the newspaper refuses to cover it, does it make a sound?
Wow, still no coverage of the huge rally at Serb Hall in the newspaper. The TV outlets covered it, but the dead tree media is proving to be pretty dead themselves… And they wonder why nobody wants to buy their paper.

Does it really matter anymore what the Jurassic Media chooses whether to or not to report on?
When was the last time anyone could be bothered to pick up a JS outside of glancing at sale papers on the counter at George Webb?

Well, the paper has finally noticed that there was a Taxpayer Rally this weekend… sorta… They gave it a mention because the slumlord Lee “the thug” Holloway is, well: Holloway accuses Walker of race baiting
Not surprised that he played the race card, but, this is just weird.

[...] Badger Blogger: Who are you and where do you stand on the County budget? The shover: This economy has my family budget strained…we’re having to do more with less…my attorney has advised me not to make my name public, but you may call me “John.” Bill the shovee: I’m Bill Mollenhauer, card carrying AFSCME member. This budget is bad for me, for my union, my county and my country…why does Scott Walker want my country to fail? . . Badger Blogger: So, this budget will impact you directly? “John” the shover: You bet it will…I mean, assuming I live in Milwaukee County…which I can neither confirm nor deny, but my attorney advised that I can say that is a definite probability…if Scott Walker doesn’t hold the line on taxes, I won’t be able to afford to live here anymore…again, assuming I do live here. Bill the shovee: You bet it will…I mean, it’s a little recognized fact that we AFSCME employees pay taxes too. The more you pay us, the more we pay in taxes…eh…you meanies at the CRG ever stop to consider that? Eh…didya? . . Badger Blogger: What did you hope to accomplish at Serb Hall? “John” the shover: I was hoping to promote my side’s message. Bill the shovee: I was hoping to disrupt their side’s message. . . Badger Blogger: Did you achieve your goals for this event? Bill the shovee: Absolutely…the media focused on me going face first into a bush…which kinda hurt, but, you know…I’m down for the cause…my personal safety is a distant second to our cause. We’re even planning a sit-in/sleepover in a vacant Lee Holloway rental property to raise awareness in Milwaukee. “John” the shover: Absolutely not…the media focused on me throwing him face first into a bush. Any money I would potentially save if Scott Walker’s budget were to pass will now go toward paying my citations. . . Badger Blogger: What led to the much-hyped scuffle between you two? Was it when you (”John”) shoved the woman, or was it when you (Bill) called “John” a “fat pig?” “John” the shover: They shoved me first. Bill the shovee: I didn’t call him a “fat pig.” . . Badger Blogger: You guys know the incident was caught on video, right? Bill the shovee: I called him a “fat pig.” “John” the shover: On advice of counsel, I’d like to exercise my rights under the Fifth Amendment. Knock, knock. Badger Blogger: Who’s there? “John” the shover: Fifth! . . So ends our attempt to bring scuffling scufflers to the table. In related news, Milwaukee County Executive Scott Walker and several other speakers made their case for fiscal responsibility in Milwaukee County in front of an audience of about 800 peacebly assembled citizens.

Regarding that sleeze Lee Holloway..
No one on any venue has mentioned the fact that the very comment he made was in and of itself racist. The first thing that popped in my mind was this:
” Holloway is actually saying Walker doesn’t want to steal money from whitey to give to minorities who don’t want to work”..
There is absolutely no other conclusion that can be drawn from Holloway’s comment….

Which exhibit is this in the death of the dead-tree media? Less than 8% of those under 36 see the newspaper as their primary source of news.

Twitter blocked Walker’s account because Holloway say he be racist?
