More Media Distortion

I was just watching the channel 9 news and their financial reporter at the end of his segmant says“considering a new job, consider being a longshoreman in the port of Long Beach. . . a recent study states the average longshoreman makes $113,000.00 a year.”

Is there any way to stop this mis-information from being put out there? This can do nothing but hurt us and I know for a fact it is not true. Notice the reporter doesn’t mention how much they make for sitting there and reading from a tele-prompter. I don’t need to explain to anybody on this list how dangerous our job can be, but maybe someone could explain it to the public. Not just “they make a 100k for nothing!”

I am sure figures like this are put out there by Miniace himself.

Maybe this is the “spirit of cooperation” the wolf in sheeps clothing talks about.

Just a thought. . . .
