The union representing Seattle broadcast journalists told the City Council membership supports defunding the police. Now, they're backpedaling (poorly). KING 5 has called it out. KIRO 7 hasn't commented.
This nonsense erodes public trust in the media.

If the union either said the membership is against defunding -- or she shouted MAGA to the Council -- would members remain so quiet?
I suppose you can blame union protocol (is it?), but it seems weird that not everyone would jump at the chance to say this isn't reflective of their viewpoint. That they do, in fact, aim for objectivity.
As I state in my piece, I think the vast majority of anchors and journalists *try* to be objective. Which is why it's out that so few would call out their union for claiming otherwise.
