Nick says the Sentinel is middle of the road. Bullshit! This is a paper that endorsed Bush! Perhaps by middle of the road Nick means a tank in the streets of Baghdad.
On the strike the paper has been equally as bad. On Saturday, October 1st, the Sentinel ran a headline entitled "Metro Drivers Reject Proposal." Yet the drivers were not given any proposal to reject. This headline did its job in placing blame for the strike on the workers rather than on the Metro Transit Board. In fact it was the Metro Transit Board that rejected the no strike agreement that had been agreed to by the worker and Transit Board representatives.
