[See NewsBusters for more.] CBS on Monday and Tuesday ignored Barack Obama's latest executive order, this one effecting 300,000 workers. NBC and ABC skimped on the story, offering just seconds. On the NBC Nightly News, Kate Snow trumpeted, "With the stroke of the President's pen on this Labor Day, about 300,000 workers will get something many have fought for: guaranteed paid sick leave."  On Monday's Today, Sheinelle Jones heralded, "President Obama signs an executive order affecting hundreds of thousands of American workers. The measure requires that federal contractors give paid sick leave to employees including about 300,000 workers who currently do not receive it."
