With the year coming to a close, Shift continues to highlight some of the 2015’s interesting stories that major media outlets have failed to spend much time on – the latest being California billionaire Tom Steyer’s ongoing efforts to use campaign cash to make sure Washington State Democrats support his extreme environmental agenda. One has to wonder how much the liberal media would be howling if an out-of-state conservative was spending millions in our state to advance a free-market agenda – oh, the horrors!
And speaking of liberal hypocrisy, Shift also takes a look at yet another ethics-challenged Democrat that the media thinks should leave his office early, as well as the failures at the Department of Corrections that three separate Democrat governors conveniently ignored. And speaking of being ignored, one can only hope that will be the fate of a letter from five Seattle City Council members demanding the University of Washington surrender to an employee union in its negotiations with medical residents. That would be only “reasonable”, something the City Council may not easily understand.
