Incident at Paris Las Vegas (UPDATED) STORY HAS DIFFERENT ENDING
It's only fair since the rumor was posted here first:

January 16, 2008 · 8:30 PM

Culinary Union organizers have been working in earnest for the last week to get the word out about the union’s endorsed candidate, Sen. Barack Obama, and to lock down member support in the run-up to Saturday’s caucus.

snip...to UPDATE:

Updated 8:30 p.m.:

The Culinary Union has investigated and says the source of the drama seemed to be about how one changes one’s party registration three days before the caucus.

Antuna was a registered independent, and the union reps were talking to her about how she had to be a Democrat to participate on Saturday, Weiss said.

Hardly scandalous and certainly not intimidation, she added.

Weiss said she suspects the whole incident was drummed up by the enthusiastic Clinton supporters, who got heated when the union reps started pitching Obama.

3. For the most part
For the most part, we believe the news if it validates our own political/social views. Once it strays outside of the confines of our opinions, it becomes "biased", "corporate", "the MSM", etc...
