Los Angeles Times misleads about Alabama immigration law - 06/16/11
The Los Angeles Times offers the misleading editorial "Alabama targets immigrant students" [1], which contains at least three (and probably many more) highly misleading statements:

California's educational system in even worse shape than previously thought - 03/11/06
California's schools used to be at the top of the nation, now, according to one ranking, we're between Alabama and Mississippi.
