In 89 segments between September 10 and 16, Fox News reported on the Chicago Teachers Union’s strike without disclosing its financial ties to the educational technology company administering the standardized tests with which the union takes issue.   Fox News parent company News Corp. acquired a 90-percent stake in Wireless Generation in 2010. Last May, the company agreed to provide Early Mathematics Assessment Services and Early Literacy Assessment Services to Chicago Public Schools. These contracts total $4.7 million. A central reason the Chicago Teachers Union decided to strike is their objection to the school district’s call for heavily weighing such standardized testing to ultimately determine teacher pay and layoffs.
