Pick up the print edition of the Orange County Register or visit their website online and you will certainly come across article after article focusing on negative issues pertaining to Santa Ana. In what can only be described as biased reporting against our city and our city leaders, the Register and its staff appear to be treating Santa Ana like their personal punching bag. It has only worsened since we elected an all-Latino city council and the old guard led by Dave Ream left town.
I thought that perhaps things would improve when Andrew Galvin began writing his column entitled The Santa Ana Register but he too seems to like taking swipes at our city and our leadership team led by Chief Paul Walters and the great council majority. Sure Galvin has written some positive pieces like the one about Santa Ana Public Works Executive Director Raul Godinez IIbut those are few and far between.
Recently Santa Ana was ranked the fourth safest city in America by Forbes magazine a fact virtually ignored by the Register and completely ignored by Mr. Galvin. On top of that, the responses from council members went unreported as well. This begs the question, if Andrew Galvin could write 11 seperate posts/articles pertaining to the Claudia Alvarez and Irv Chase incident couldn’t he at least write one about the Forbes ranking?
I realize that it’s the holiday season and pehaps those that cover Santa Ana for the Register, like Mr. Galvin, might be on vacation. However if he was able to find time to write a column about an irrelevant lawsuit that only interested a handful of local bloggers, surely he had time to write about Santa Ana being named the fourth safest city in America.
I must commend the Register for changing its commenting policy and requiring folks to use their Facebook login’s to comment. This has indeed cut down on the vicious and hateful comments directed at Santa Ana, our leaders and our residents. However with 2012 just around the corner I hope the Register and its staff resolve to give Santa Ana some fair and balanced treatment in the new year.

"Also, don’t forget to check out our OC Latino Link blog as well, which has tons of good news out of Santa Ana every week"....... Hmmmmmm
Substitute test to show OC Register's racism.
Also, don’t forget to check out our OC Anglo Link blog as well, which has tons of good news out of Santa Ana every week.
Which statement appears racist Theresa?

Fiala,
I guess you are just too stupid to comprehend a dictionary definition of “Latino” and “Anglo”
Anglo – Definition and More from the Free Merriam-Webster Dictionary
Definition of ANGLO. 1: anglo-american. 2: a white inhabitant of the United States of non-Hispanic descent — Anglo adjective. See Anglo defined for English-language
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
“Latina” redirects here. For other uses, see Latina (disambiguation).
The two words originate in American Spanish latino and latina (from Latin Latinus, Latina), either meaning “Latin”, or possibly a clipped form of latinoamericano, “Latin American”.[1][2][3]
In the United States, the term is in official use in the ethnonym Hispanic or Latino, defined as “a person of Cuban, Mexican, Puerto Rican, South or Central American, or other Spanish culture or origin regardless of race.”[4][5]The term is also used in Spain as a term of self-identification for immigrants from Hispanoamerica.
As the definition states “Latino/a is not race related. All races can be “Latino/a.
“Latino” is a term to describe geographical origin not race.
LATINO IS ALL RACE INCLUSSIVE BECAUSE IT IS A GEOGRAHIC DISCRIPTION ANGLO IS A RACE DISCRIPTION.
SEE THE DIFFERENCE AND HOW STUPID YOUR COMPARISON ARGUMENT IS
Why didn't Galvin cover it? Maybe he did the same research that I did showing that the FBI specifically disavowed the use of these statistics for comparing cities as methodologically unjustifiable: http://www.orangejuiceblog.com/2011/12/thoughts-on-santa-ana-being-ranked-as-4th-safest-major-city-in-u-s/. Still, better 4th out of 73 than 74th!
"I thought you were through with this argument? Do you want to go through it again???????"...... Hmmmmm
Sure Dr. Amalgam, but with IQ sufficient person not with a monkey.
So I am done with you.
Hmmm......... how can you argue with any one if you are so dumb not to conprehend dictionary definitions. A monkey can beat your stupid argument.
Just to be clear, by the way, the ranking is only for cities of population 250,000 or more.
Have you contacted Forbes yet Diamond? You need to let them know what a sham these rankings are. I am sure hearing from a successful lawyer such as yourself would set them straight.
When will your post about Irvine's ranking being a sham too be up on the OJB?
