UNION INFLUENCE -
Connecting The Dots
Unions only make up less than 20% of our workforce so why do they have a choke hold on our government? Note: The groups highlighted in PURPLE are Government Unions. The groups highlighted in RED are Media Unions. These Media Unions are key. When actors and writers were blacklisted in the 1950s for being communists it was found out to be a huge scandal. Most were unfounded charges. Regardless, careers were ruined. Today we find that the progressives have used the guilt of the Red Scare to their advantage. The Leftists have gone unchecked shielded by Political Correctness. So now, what happens today if an actor comes out on the side of Liberty? They are ostracized. Only a handful have "Come out" so to speak. These Media Unions can influence the narrative. They can control behind the scenes the direction of both popular culture through entertainment and information with biased news reporting. This is Propaganda.
When there is any corruption in any level of government you can often follow the money and influence to Union backed Democrats. When this happens news outlets all the way down to the local level will rarely ask ANY tough questions. There is great pressure on local media news producers and reporters to go along to get along - to move up the next bigger market. All Unions are very organized and support each other regardless of their occupational fields. The Union leadership coerces the rank and file how to report the News and how to vote and use union dues to fuel the political engine.
