The justification remains that Sykes, like Rush Limbaugh, describes himself as an entertainer not a journalist."<br /> In response to Media Action Center's petition to deny the license of WTMJ for not giving comparable time to both political parties during the Scott Walker recall, Journal attorneys make the case that Sykes qualifies as a "bonafide news" program.

They like the growing urban centers. Despite the ingrained pockets of poverty, they are determined to make Milwaukee attract fresh entrepreneurs and activists. Groups of college trained families are abandoning the lure of comfortable suburban living to tackle street by street the neighborhood improvements, the organic reclaiming of the earth, the helping hand for the downtrodden.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-22823205078459797302014-02-28T07:03:55.367-06:002014-02-28T07:03:55.367-06:00Despite the facts, right wingers accuse the Journa...Despite the facts, right wingers accuse the Journal Sentinel of having a liberal, Democratic bias.
