Scott,
Many of the protesters are students or "out of staters" sent in by the unions. I am not defending either side in this argument. I can, however, say that if you look at the current economic situation in southern states (North Carolina is a good example) the average worker makes squat. Why? Becuase there is no union group to set an eaxample for what is the baseline. Good or bad, the unions have helped out non-union workers by establishing baseline salaries. Do you really think hourly wages woudl be where they are without at least one union getting a contract that establishes the standard for what is fair? If so, you are kidding yourself. Without that corporate greed would take hold (as is the case with humanity). On the flip side, unions are filled with greed on the other side wanting more than their share in return for nothing.
As far as bias, Fox spins enough to the right to counteract the left spin. I prefer the BBC since Bosnia-free radio jumped off the fence in the 90's.
