We recently brought you the story of how much money the public school privateers are willing to spend in order to profit off of our children’s education! Then since that story, we have found out that Voucher schools actually under perform public schools, despite their immense advantages. We also recently found out that the Federal [...]

We have brought you the story before that the current round of “education reform” is a myth, that its just a ruse to try and privatize education so certain people can get their hands on our education money! We all know that Scott Walker in his latest budget wants to vastly increase taxpayer money going [...]

Today republican party insider and David “Ike Turner” Prosser’s best friend Brian Schimming was the host of the vile Vicki Mckenna Show. He also had our good friend Dave Blaska as a “special” guest. One of the callers called to say that he called Harry Reid’s office to ask when he was going to require [...]

Quite often in politics, it is much easier to elect the incumbent than to sit and think and compae the candidates and figue out which one you think would represent you. It happens in Waukesha and it happens in Madison and everywhere in between. When people do not pay attention, it is easy to think, [...]

The Mockery of the Madison Media as a Meaningful Medium

Posted February 26th, 2013 @ 8:48 AM by

The Madison School Board race has been interesting to say the least. For those of you scoring at home, three candidates declared their candidacy for Seat #5, Sarah Manski, TJ Mertz and Ananda Mirilli.

Governor Walker promised us(among other things) that his administration would help create 250,000 jobs. After two years(of a four year term) the Governor has once again failed miserably, as his total to date of 37,011 leaves him 212,989 jobs left to meet his promise!

When I first started with Forwardlookout, we brought you the stories of how Sunny Schubert writes a local column disguised as public interest, in the Herald-Independent when in fact she is actually a paid hack of the far right wing extremist organization WPRI. As if that was not bad enough, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel also [...]

We all know by now that Sly in the Morning and the local news team, on 1670 WTDY was ambushed and fired the day before Thanksgiving by new General Manager Rick Mccoy. Thus effectively ending any local voice that progressives have. Also ending any chance that people have of actual real time news coverage. With [...]
