Things got worse for everyone when he stopped running his business (if he ever really did). If it stayed an asshole CEO I wouldn't really have all that much bad to say about him, besides what I'd say about all of them.
American workers historically have understood clearly that their antagonist is the capitalist class, who uses the hollow abstraction of "the economy", framed as an end in itself, to distract from its selfish pursuit of private accumulation.
It is time that everyone finally wake up and join the shared struggle.
News isn't for journalism anymore. It's for those little commercial breaks. And those commercial breaks are paid for by companies. You can thank the early 90s with 24-hour news channels.
To avoid angering those who buy ads, they're going to ensure their reporting always has a more "neutered approach" by talking about how bad the future will look thanks to those striking workers.
Then they'll play a bit of lip service to the real story, just enough to mildly appeal to both sides.
I’m mostly listen to news reporting from NewsWire sources like Reuters and AP (neutral with no commentary), but when I do dip into MSM news sources, such as MSNBC, they legitimately sound shook. Like… they are “supportive” yet kinda sound a bit frightened.

Employers are nothing without workers
Capitalism, where Economy > People. And when they say economy, they mean the stock market.
Fuck Jack Welch.
Raise Hell.
Praise Dale.
Dale would beat the shit out of Jack Welch if they met

This is that "liberal news media" that conservatives keep yammering on about. The one that's owned by six corporations.
The news always does this.
