The International CBS Tendency

I was in my car the other day, and flipped on my local talk radio station WHMP. They host Air America, some local stuff like the Bill Dwight show, and a few other programs, but their hourly newscast is done by CBS news. Reports continued to stream in about the Chicago factory takeover, which I wrote about the other day.
Imagine my surprise when the syndicated opinion commentator ( Dave Ross is his name) called for Republic Windows and Doors to give the factory to the workers. That sounds a lot like workers owning the means of production.
It's been a while since I've been stunned by radio, so thanks Dave Ross, and CBS, for broadcasting an eminently reasonable idea, for once.
