Bill Tieleman has written Vancouver newspaper columnists, editorials get facts wrong in trash talking CUPE Vancouver workers over strike and exposes the lapses of journalists who succumbed to all the "strike myths" propagated by Mayor Sam, the City and it's media spin doctors.

Those who insist on trash-talking workers should at least get their facts straight, but apparently that's asking too much.

Today there's still a media blackout in effect. So why is the Vancouver Sun publishing this story Striking library workers, city reach tentative deal on their website? Who told them the information? more »
