Yeah sureee...
Shouldn't these two "op-eds"--one by a paid shill for the insurance industry, the other by an attorney with "clients" in the firearm industry (and I honestly give kudos to the Free Press for noting such) --really be published for what they are: paid advertisements?
Seriously, how stupid do you have to be to believe the insurance industry in the state of Michigan has your best interests at heart? Don't you think--if they truly did--they wouldn't be so quick to reduce the amount you can receive when some drunk numb nuts knocks you out of work for weeks, cripples you and takes you out of work forever, or at worst, kills you and ends your family's support? The only reason the insurance industry wants to give people more choice is to make more money by taking more of yours. How fucking stupid do these people think we are? How fucking stupid do you have to be to believe their bullshit? Bet plenty of republicans did, though.
As for the corporate lawyer for the firearm industry, it reads like what it is: a corporate talking points memo. What bravado by the Free Press to allow a corporate hack to spew the industry selling points.
William Lloyd Garrison and John Peter Zenger must be rolling over in their graves: a profession--Journalism--that was supposed to bring out the best in us has become the best that corporate influence and money can buy.
Peace,
