This is another typical example of a press release being
published, parading as journalism. If there was actually
a journalist behind the article, the minimum required in
balance would be to point out that business outspends
labor by a huge multiple, something like eight times.
But the press release is allowed to give the impression
that *labor* is the big spender. -Steve Grube

"Thomas J. Donohue, the chamber's president, said the group would spend at least $100,000 in each race, for a total of nearly $5 million.
The total is a fraction of the $40 million that the A.F.L.-C.I.O. plans to spend this year and next to benefit candidates supported by organized labor, almost all of them Democrats."
