Noel Shepard takes excerpts from Krugman's article but never gives us the link to see for ourselves so here it is - NYTimes Op-Ed Columnist: Wisconsin Power Play By PAUL KRUGMAN Published: February 20, 2011
At least you know who said it with NewsBusters.org but a little more information by the author would be helpful - what do you think?
Krugman: 'Gov. Walker Trying to Make Wisconsin and America a Third-World-Style Oligarchy' Read more: http://newsbusters.org/blogs/noel-sheppard/2011/02/21/krugman-gov-walker-trying-make-wisconsin-and-america-third-world-styl#ixzz1N5SrJC8G
On top of those issues I know 2/21/2011 is not a long time ago but I did not notice this as over three months old and someone was recycling it on Twitter - I'm guilty of that sometimes when I think an issue should not be forgotten! All the more important to report your sources and give the reader a chance to figure it out for themselves. I should also mention Shepard referenced George Will in a link in this piece. But the link was to another of his columns where you could see an embed from ABC News - nothing wrong with that but it does show he knows how to put links in stories!

Can A Bird Fly With Only A Right Wing?!
Motivated by the current (2011) political climate in Wisconsin it seems reasonable to devote some time and effort to comment on issues and some of the hyperbole. So we in the public should do what we can to help focus "journalists" on delineating real facts versus spin. If you accept the spin you do not understand the policy implications.
