California news media, liberal in a good way?

I was listening to Eric Hogue talking to Daniel Wientraub from the Sac Bee today. The Insider was commenting on the views inside the editorial department at the Bee and why the paper is sometimes critical of the labor unions in California. His view, as I understood it is the liberal views of the editors are intact, they just think that the re-distribution of wealth from the rich to the poor is being hijacked by the labor unions. The money the State seems to take in is not going where the it should go. True liberals, stil love the unions, but want to put the poor first.

I am not sure that I disagree with this concept, if you accept the fact that re-distribution of wealth is inevitable. Living California, I am sure that until new district line are drawn, the democratic controlled state legislature will continue and even expand their efforts to confiscate as much wealth as possible from the top tax-payers in our state.

A very interesting conundrum the left-leaning MSM is in, does it call out one of their own, the bloated unions, or does it stand by their big labor friends at the expense of the needy?

Naw, they will just keep slamming Ahhnold.
