-- September 8, 2003 The press looks the other way with leftist race issues The mainstream press has been doing a miserable job covering Cruz Bustamante's ties to the creepy Chicano secessionist group MEChA. This may not be the biggest story of the California recall election, but voters surely have a right to expect some actual information about the leading Democratic candidate's views of a group that is certainly racialist, if not racist.  |

by Daniel Weintraub -- September 1, 2003 Look who's driving the wedge now Cruz's appearance on "Face the Nation" Sunday and his campaign manager's comments in the Bee this morning suggest that Bustamante is going to try the ethnic left's favorite trick: yelling "divisiveness" in a crowded political theater. -- The issue is immigration, and Bustamante seems to think he has Arnold on the run.
