Letter to the Editor

Headline news…”UNRULY MOB CHASES AND TRAPS SENATOR

GROTHMAN”, or was it? Yesterday SenatorGrothman went to work, unlike 14

AWOL Democrat Senators. As he approached the Capital he was mobbed, chased and

verbally assaulted by union protesters. They screamed “SHAME, SHAME, SHAME,

YOU SUCK, YOU SUCK, F----- YOU” and other derogatory, expletive appalling

remarks. They trapped him against a glass door for a number of minutes, forcing Senator

Grothman to bang on the door for help and calling for assistance on his phone.

Democratic Representative Brett Hulsey tried coming to Senator Grothman’s aid, but the

protesters had little respect for him either. The Fire Department arrived and escorted

Senator Grothman out of the mob. Capital Police were nowhere to be seen. It was all

captured on video and posted on YouTube.

This incident is very disturbing and depictive of union thug tactics. Had a tea party

individual or group confronted Senator Grothman in this manner, it would be plastered on

every front page and headlined across media outlets from MSNBC, CBS, NBC, ABC,

CNN and others. There would be a diatribe of unending harsh criticism against the entire

tea party movement. In contrast, AP minimized the event, did not report all the facts,

stated “dozens of protesters” when clearly hundreds mobbed the Senator. There were no

headlines in Sheboygan Press despite that Senator Grothman represents Sheboygan

County citizens. The lack of publication or minimized content clearly shows media bias.

Unfortunately much that is seen in newsprint and broadcast is hard-leaning left,

pro-union reporting. The public is being misinformed (or not informed at all) and

propagandized. It is time the media begin implementing truthful, fair and unbiased reporting.
