      Here in the UK there have been quite a few strikes recently and the media bias is strong. The unions demands are a footnote while the rest of the coverage is talking about how much of a negative short term impact it’s going to have and interviews with people who are going to be personally affected. Not to mention government ministers getting plenty of airtime to decry the workers as greedy as villainous.
