...teach-in was inaccurate not only in its portrayal of the event, but also in its reporting of basic facts ("Ethnic Studies Teach-In Calls For Activism," news story, Nov. 10, 1994). The reporter depicted the teach-in as primarily a call for "sit-ins and other forms of protest." She neglected the debate that addressed many of the "serious doubts as to whether an Ethnic Studies Department would be beneficial," about which The Crimson editorial expressed such concern. For example, the editorial suggested the following concerns as if they were revelations that never occurred to ESAC: the accusation that...

Their cause was hurt by protest marches that many white Californians found threatening. "On TV there was nothing but Mexican flags and brown faces," said Robert Kiley, the initiative campaign's political consultant...
...distributed thousands of "voter guides" throughout Glickman's congressional district. The pamphlets were slipped onto car windshields in church parking lots; some pastors allowed the guides to be distributed inside their churches. The guides, designed to appear objective and distributed close to the election so Glickman couldn't effectively protest them, gave the Congressman negative ratings on hot issues. Example: Glickman was labeled undecided on federal funding for abortion, although he has consistently voted against it except in cases of rape or incest. Last Tuesday nine-term incumbent Glickman lost his seat in Congress to conservative Todd Tiahrt...
