TRIMET SPIN DOCTORS AND ITS COMPLICIT MAINSTREAM MEDIA

Very Lively and mostly intelligent debate over at the Oregonian on Joe Rose's story on the last ELRB decision.
But this story is the quintessential example of SUPERB (hey I've said if there is one thing that Trimet does right its propaganda, they are the best in the business) propaganda techniques and how its used to influence public opinion.

Trimet and mainstream media are saying  
State board upholds TriMet contract requiring union members to pay more of their health care costs

Is that what the ruling of the ELRB actually said? Nope they never issued any such ruling, here is what the headlines should be saying instead of the fictional headlines:
TRIMET ORDERED TO CEASE AND DESIST VIOLATING ORS 243.672(1)(c)


If there were 'real' news sources they would have  quoted the ruling for the headline

Rose, thought he pulled a fast one on that headline.
