Good point...
I should have said..."a Reuters news report about new Zogby poll commissioned by a union backed anti Walmart group"
Reporters have a perspective on the "debate" and that comes through in these stories.
In Maryland the legislature passed a bill to require that companies with a certain number of employees (read: WAL-MART) must devote 8% of their payroll to health care costs. The governor vetoed the bill. The legislature will attempt to override the veto in January. The media is reporting how Wal-Mart has retained lobbyists to educate legislators about their perspective on the issue. Big deal, everyone has a lobbyist or team of lobbyists....it's guaranteed in the constitution...
Perhaps someday the media will acknowledge that many stories in the papers are driven by public relations professionals with an agenda. Which is very similar to lobbying. So don't believe everything you read
