Sen. Boxer's Media Web Site: No Gay, Minority Links

California Democratic Senator Barbara Boxer's official web site has an extremely comprehensive page for news media outlets in the state. At least fifty daily, weekly and monthly publications, along with radio and TV stations, are all linked to from Boxer's site.

But this liberal politician fails to link to a single gay newspaper and there are dozens of them across the state.

Also missing from her list are the many Latino Spanish-language, Asian-American and African-American newspapers, TV and radio outlets.

If Boxer can take time out from her busy schedule of trying to stifle anti-war, pro-peace activist Cindy Sheehan and her possible challenge to Sen. Dianne Feinstein, Boxer might also find the time to instruct her web site administrator to provide links on her site to media for gays and people of color.
