The Wall Street Journal has lost "serious respect" for a racist editorial it wrote about Gov. George Pataki and tribes, Indian Country Today says in an editorial.

The Journal, writes ICT, "took a pretty wide stereotypical and prejudicial swipe at American Indians." ICT says the paper based its opinion on outdated information and outright untruths. "The Journal's position on Indian gaming in New York State and nationally is part and parcel of a growing national backlash against Indians," says ICT.

"It seeks to disparage and to castigate Indians with all the same stereotypical images, denying the real economic base of the issue and mangling the facts."
