Media Black Out Senate TPP Showdown; TPP Opposition Grows
As Fast Track Looms, Opposition Mounts to Corporate-Friendly Trade Deals .

The Senate Blockbuster Trade Showdown The Media Ignored. Sens. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio), Bob Casey (D-Pa.), Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.), Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.), Edward Markey (D-Mass.), Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.), Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), and Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) took to the Senate floor to speak about fast track, TPP and fair trade. There was apparently not a single report of this in the nation’s news media, continuing the blackout of news on fast track and TPP.
