We regret use of 'hate Latinos' headline (Arizona Daily Star headline in red on front page)
Arizona Daily Star ^ | April 16, 2006 | Debbie Kornmiller

Posted on 04/18/2006 8:13:25 PM PDT by lonewacko_dot_com

'Republicans Hate Latinos'' read the headline on Friday's front-page in red, all-capital letters. No attribution. Just stated as fact.

That quote has been in the news since labor activist Dolores Huerta used the phrase in an April 3 speech at Tucson High School. The statement appeared as a quotation above four photos, including one of Huerta.

Yet in the Star's presentation, the quote was not attributed, instead presented as fact and in eye-catching red...

...Managing Editor Teri Hayt, too, was troubled by the presentation. The quote "should have been attributed properly and not highlighted in red type. The reader is right, perception is reality and in this case we did not put the focus where it belonged — on Ms. Huerta."

Huerta said this at the assembly described in High School Students Forced To Listen To Pro-Illegal Immigration Propaganda.

Please send a short, polite note to the AZ Star's ombudsman letting her know you know what they're up to: advocate *at* azstarnet.com

They don't regret it for one minute. They're probably pleased that this much attention is being drawn to their propaganda. I don't believe their crocodile tears any more than I believed Bill Clinton's.

Dont waste your time writing these folks.
The Red Star supports and are hispanderers.
They are big government,Gay,antimilitary,hoplophobes and Rat.
They do not allow dissent.
They are the reason along with the Tucson sh*tizen, Tucson needs a larger landfill.

Dont waste your time and efforts giving attention to these stalinists.

Sure! Just like CNN didn't mean to put an "X" on Dick Cheney's face.

"polite note"

!! BS !!

Get numbers for the paper and call. Tell whoever answers sternly that they need to resign at once.

At the first indication of reluctance to resign interrupt and tell the employee that he/she is a disgusting bigot.

Why doesn't the GOP sue them for slander?

When you play tough with these cowardly cry babies, they do wise up.

Note to self: All future political articles from this paper are considered suspect for excessive bias.

I refuse to read the "Red Star" since it is so liberal. Unfortunately, I don't have a clue to what is going on locally. I was lucky yesterday, though. As I passed the airport I saw a poster advertising "B-17,B-24,B-25 Flights".
They were having flights on these warbirds and today I took a flight on a B-25 Mitchell Bomber.
Wow! What a great experience. And on the 64th anniversary of the Doolittle raid.
The best $325 I ever spent.

I can't take credit....saw it a week or so ago (forget who typed it), and I thought the same.

If you have a subscription, it's time to cancel out.

I live in Atlanta but I would have to cancel the Atlanta journal Constitution so often on principal that if i didn't want the Fry's add i would never even buy one at the news stand.

Did they serve a snack? ;)

That is pretty cool. I'd like to do that sometime.

On another note, some joker at the Orlando Sentinel was quoting and attributing A.C.O.R.N. as if they were just another community organization such as the United Way.

These people just really suck.
