More fallout as it is revealed that many dozens of judges and journalists signed the union led recall petitions against Wis. Gov. Walker

MORE WISCONSIN JOURNALISTS IN TROUBLE FOR SIGNING WALKER RECALL
Just days after an investigation by Gannett Media uncovered dozens of Wisconsin journalists who had signed petitions to recall Republican Gov. Scott Walker, new accusations of media bias continue to emerge along with new names of prominent journalists who have joined the left's effort.
Media Trackers reports that a news anchor and a colleague at WISC-TV, the Madison, WI affiliate of CBS, have both signed recall petitions, and both are under investigation.
Editors and management at media outlets are treating participation in the recall effort differently from casting an ordinary vote on Election Day, reassigning reporters away from political topics and launching new ethics training in an attempt to repair public perceptions of bias.

Not National News: 29 'Impartial' Wis. Judges Sign Scott Walker Recall Petitions
If Scott Walker somehow loses his recall election in Wisconsin, will that be national news? Of course it will.

Well, if the Walker recall really is a national story, why isn't it news that 29 judges who are supposed to be impartial in their rulings and who are under strict prohibitions against political activity were found by Gannett News to have signed petitions supporting Walker's recall -- including at least one who has ruled in a recall-related matter without bothering to disclose his action? Make such a story about Republican judges signing petitions to recall a Democratic governor, and it would be national news for sure.
