Looks like Bee reporter David Siders took Brown's comments and re-packaged them into several paragraphs for publication. Of course, he is following the example of the Bee's senior writer Dan Morain.

McClatchy now acting as the propaganda arm of the Jerry Brown campaign
McClatchy and the MSM are acting as the propaganda arm of the DNC and the Jerry Brown campaign. Moonbeam appeared with several Latino politicians in LA yesterday to slam Meg Whitman and tout his support by Latino politicians. McClatchy covered the event by doing little more than repeating Jerry Brown's talking points as gospel.

Is the nurses union writing headlines for McClatchy?
Looks to me like McClatchy is doing what it can to ensure Jerry Brown is elected California governor this fall. Want evidence? Look no further than the headline in this McClatchy piece published Monday:
If you read the article, the Whitman campaign videotaped a union event and live-streamed the event back to Whitman headquarters. Not much different from what political campaigns from both parties have been doing since the invention of the video camera. But since the campaign doing the videotaping was Republican, the McClatchy headline-writer calls it "spying."
The Sacramento Bee and the McClatchy newspaper chain are essentially working for Jerry Brown and the entire Dem slate of candidates.

Objectivity at the Sacramento Bee
In his 32-paragraph story laying out the campaign, Morain interviewed just one expert: Art Pulaski.
Pulaski is an AFL-CIO organizer in California who is on record saying his organizion plans to spend money and mobilize union members to defeat Whitman.
Check out this paragraph:
"She is in a different class, a different class of people. People will begin to see that," Art Pulaski, head of the California Labor Federation-AFL-CIO, told me. "She breathes different air than the rest of us."
Morain didn't go to the trouble of finding somebody with an opposing view to quote. Just union-boss Pulaski.
Which means Morain's piece today is nothing but DNC, pro-union talking points.
Dan Morain's background as a long-time lefty will be a subject for later posts on this site.
