Refreshing! A member of the media who refuses to be bullied by union thugs. ABC’s Terry Moran rightly asked if the striking Chicago teachers know how much damage they are doing, not only to their profession, but to the children. This bit of hard truth did not sit well with the Left, natch.
Some “real journalists” are none too pleased. How dare Terry Moran not join the media cheerleading squad? Max Blumenthal has his briefs in a twist.

As does Mr. Mike “chair is racist” Elk.
How much are you doing to yours? MT @TerryMoran I wonder if the Chicago teachers realize how much damage they are doing to their profession

And fellow travelers join in the attacks.
You can get along just fine without watching @TerryMoran low-brow journalism on Nightline. But you need teachers. #ctustrike

.@TerryMoran I wonder if slaves realized how much damage they were doing to Southern agriculture and prosperity when they demanded freedom?

Slavery! How low do you have to be to make such an offensive and disgusting comparison?
Its disgusting that a well paid suit like @TerryMoran would blame the teacher's strike on the workers. Must be nice to be bought Terry.

.@TerryMoran and what of the damage you have done to your profession? I guess sitting at a desk reading a script is hard…

.@TerryMoran I see you can't even bother to ask teachers why they are striking. And you get paid to be a news anchor? Pitiful.

Civility! Mr. Moran graciously responds.

@TerryMoran @specieslvlthink Typo: Chicago teachers make an average $74,000/SCHOOL-year. Most offered a 19% raise. That is NOT slavery.
— Terry Moran (@TerryMoran) September 10, 2012
@SpeciesLvlThink That trivializes and dishonors the victims of slavery. Chicago teachers make $19,000/school-year; offered a 19% raise.
— Terry Moran (@TerryMoran) September 10, 2012
Indeed. But common decency doesn’t compute with the Left.
Kudos, Mr. Moran. Here is some more truth for the delusional Left.
Re Chicago teachers: 10-15 years in, nearly all are making six figures. Not exactly exploited laborers.

Bingo.
