Tesco joins Wal-Mart on the left's hit list

According to the Daily Telegraph, Tesco, the largest European retailing market giant, is undergoing the same anti-capitalist or rather Poujadist campaign that U.S. marketing giant Wal-Mart is undergoing in the international left-leaning electronic and print media, as evidenced in this piece about the Berlin Film Festival.

In the U.S., labor is coordinating with Democratic-Party-connected Target and other leftist outlets like Frontline and PBS Evening News. Frontline had an anti-Wal-mart special hosted by Hedrick Smith, the former NYT foreign correspondent who got his sea-legs overseas as the Times’ Moscow correspondent.

A brief CBS Evening News piece noted that the Maryland legislature has voted for legislation that singles out Wal-Mart [although that’s not the way PBS framed it]. The segment mentioned that other legislation in Wisconsin and other states had failed, but there were still pending votes in still other jurisdictions. All this straight-faced without any mention of a national campaign to restrain trade with Wal-Mart.

Just another left-wing plug against big business and the evils of success.

Oh well, the old international left is still at work rousing the useful idiots to boycott certain retailers, although in this case it is Target that benefits along with its Democratic Party allies, as my blog of Target Targeting Wal-Mart points out.

And Tesco gets to join Wal-Mart in the rogue's gallery of the left.
