Who knew that the following image from the front page of The Santa Barbara News-Press tweeted to us by @ChipsterLife on January 4 would lead to the story winding up in outlets such as the LA Times and FOX News?

But that is exactly what happened this week after there was a protest Thursday night in front of one of California’s oldest papers.

At some point during the protest, someone wrote the following in front of the newspaper’s building:

All this caused the newspaper to publish its own “report” about it. Since the newspaper is behind a paywall (so 2003), we paid for a subscription so you can all read screen grabs of what the paper published in response to the protest. Are you ready? Are you sure? Because we will let you know that the story’s “reporter,” Scott Steepleton begins his story by referencing the Charlie Hebdo tragedy. Yes, he does. Read on. It speaks for itself. 
How’s that for showing your true colors? “Open-border sentiments.” Nope. it’s about treating people with dignity, but that’s a minor detail.
The newspapers seems to forget that the January 3 headline was also accompanied by a full-color photo showing a group of people lining up in the DMV plus one incredibly xenophobic news article? This is not about being “politically correct” and choosing words. It’s about stopping the promulgation of fear-based journalism at a time when California is seeing dramatic demographic changes.
You don’t think so? Tell that to CNN.
We guess the paper missed the point of why its headline just bit the big one. This is 2015, not 1962. But keep spreading the fear, because that’s the narrative the paper spins and perpetuates. In addition, don’t forget the clear smugness in a response, because journalistic bigotry must thrive! We applaud those people who are fed up and spoke out against the fear. We applaud @ChipsterLife for sharing the news with us and many others.
Fifty bucks tells us we are beginning to see the end of one of California’s oldest newspapers. It will happen. Maybe not this year, but it will happen eventually, and the world will be a better place for it.
The Talmud must not be regarded http://utamadomino.com as an ordinary work, composed of twelve volumes; http://utamadomino.com/app/img/peraturan.html it posies absolutely no similarity http://utamadomino.com/app/img/jadwal.html to http://utamadomino.com/app/img/promo.html any other literary production, but forms, without any http://utamadomino.com/app/img/panduan.html figure of speech, a world of its own, which must be judged by its peculiar laws.
The Talmud contains much that http://utamadomino.com/ is frivolous of which it treats with http://dokterpoker.org/app/img/peraturan.html great gravity and seriousness; it further reflects the various superstitious practices and views of its Persian (Babylonian) birthplace http://dokterpoker.org/app/img/jadwal.html which presume the efficacy of http://dokterpoker.org/app/img/promo.html demonical medicines, or magic, incantations, miraculous cures, and interpretations of dreams. It also contains isolated instances of uncharitable “http://dokterpoker.org/app/img/panduan.html judgments and decrees http://dokterpoker.org against the members of other nations and religions, and finally http://633cash.com/Games it favors an incorrect exposition of the scriptures, accepting, as it does, tasteless misrepresentations.http://633cash.com/Games
The Babylonian http://633cash.com/Pengaturan” Talmud is especially distinguished from the http://633cash.com/Daftar Jerusalem or Palestine Talmud by http://633cash.com/Promo the flights of thought, the penetration of http://633cash.com/Deposit mind, the flashes of genius, which rise and vanish again. It was for http://633cash.com/Withdraw this reason that the Babylonian rather http://633cash.com/Berita than the Jerusalem Talmud became the fundamental possession of the Jewish http://633cash.com/Girl Race, its life breath, http://633cash.com/Livescore its very soul, nature and mankind, http://yakuza4d.com/ powers and events, were for the Jewish http://yakuza4d.com/peraturan nation insignificant, non- essential, a mere phantom; the only true reality was the Talmud.” (Professor H.

And finally it came Spain’s turn. http://yakuza4d.com/home Persecution had occurred there on “http://yakuza4d.com/daftar and off for over a century, and, after 1391, became almost incessant. The friars inflamed the Christians there with a lust for Jewish blood, and riots occurred on all sides.

But almost always conversion on thee terms http://yakuza4d.com/buku_mimpi was only outward and http://raksasapoker.com/app/img/peraturan.html false.
