It would appear local Inland Empire newspapers need to make a choice.
Either adopt the true purpose of a newspaper and be a public watchdog, or become a sock puppet!
It’s one or the other. You can’t have it both ways.
Readers were subjected to another dose of what would appear to be favoritism. If it’s not, then I don’t know what is.
Joe Nelson, staff reporter for The Sun newspaper, authored a well-written story titled, ‘Judge fines San Manuel tribal members for not providing financial records‘.
It (the story) went online Friday afternoon.
The story, was the second of the week, which discusssed a civil case involving two members of the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians, who were convicted in a murder-for-hire plot. A story that undoubtedy cast the Tribe in a very negative light, and more importanly the story discussed Tribal finances.
To read the story, click here.
But something interesting happened a few hours later.
The story disappeared from the local news section, and front page of the newspapers Internet website. The only way to locate the story was to do an archive search. But that’s only if one knew the story was actually there in the first place.
To be fair, the story did make Saturday’s print edition.
Inquiries were made to the newspaper on Saturday, and the story reappeared.
It’s not the first time the newspaper has either buried a story, or altered content to affect the slant.
Hopefully this was an oversight or mistake, and not some form of patronage to a wealthy advertising benefactor.
Do not underestimate the power of The San Manuel Tribe of the Mexican Mafia
LSW,
“…especially involving ACTIVITY from a time when a SEATED-Sup was CHIEF”
Hmmm, is LSW suggesting that Supervisor James Ramos needs to be DEPOSED?
BUT…would that be legal CONSIDERING that all this ACTIVITY occurred:
“from a time when a SEATED-Sup was CHIEF” …
…AS IN…
“former President Zedillo’s actions as President, not private conduct,”
” [Zedillo] argued that his status as a FORMER NATIONAL LEADER gave him IMMUNITY from the lawsuit. ”

No Red,
I’m not just whistling Dixie here…this is NO MEXICAN BOOGEYMAN routine…it all goes back to James Ramos though.
James Ramos IS a former President, or Chief, of a Sovereign nation, just as Ernesto Zedillo is a former Mexican President.
I read that, “Former Mexican President Ernesto Zedillo should be immune from a lawsuit filed in Connecticut over the 1997 killings of 45 people in a Mexican village, the U.S. State Department said in a court filing.”
” [Zedillo] argued that his status as a FORMER NATIONAL LEADER gave him IMMUNITY from the lawsuit. ”
“This complaint is predicated on former President Zedillo’s actions as President, not private conduct,” Koh wrote.
NOW…let’s go back to a quote from a top Tribal Member, “Original Pechange”, who stated here on May 8th, that, “All Native Americans DON’T automatically support each other.’
NOW… let’s also say Ramos is elected, and outraged brave and courageous San Manuel Tribal members do right by reporting, or suing, FORMER CHIEF James Ramos for AIDING and ABETTING the Mexican and Russian Mafia’s by sheltering, protecting and giving a safe haven to DRUG TRAFFICKERS, ASSASSINS, THUGS, SWINDLERS, AND PIMPS within their reservation- as is widely known.
WILL JAMES RAMOS BE ABLE TO CLAIM “IMMUNITY” ARGUING, AS ZEDILLO, THAT HIS ACTIONS WERE AS “CHIEF” OF A SOVEREIGN NATION, AND NOT PRIVATE CONDUCT?
As I have stated previously many times before, “If James Ramos’ residence was not the RESERVATION- he would be in JAIL for aiding and abetting the mafia.”

Say it ain’t so Joe…. Someone shortened your leash again.
OH, AND SPEAKING OF THE SAN MANUEL BAND OF MISSION INDIANS…
HERE’S A BONUS…
JUST BECAUSE:

Here’s more for you dear Red…

The Press-Enterprise
“Another DEA document said investigators fear the Mexican Mafia has infiltrated the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians and is extorting money from tribe members, who receive at least $100,000 per month each from casino profits.”
**** Well, well…WHAT CHIEF ALLOWED THE MEXICAN MAFIA TO “INFILTRATE”?
Could the Tribal members sue the “Former Chief” for permitting or purposely not preventing such criminal activity??
The sun and its quack editor frank pine are in my view totally corrupt.
