California Patriot
The California Patriot was an independent, student-run, glossy-covered opinion magazine at the University of California, Berkeley.
History
The magazine was started in 2000[1] by two 19-year-old sophomores, Tyler Monroe and Kelso Barnett.[2]
Overview
The magazine's mission was to promote
Notable stories
In 2002, the California Patriot broke a story that the University of California, Berkeley, planned to host a 9/11 memorial event without any red-white-and-blue ribbons or other displays of American patriotism because they might offend foreign students. Bill O'Reilly hosted the editor of the California Patriot to tell the story on Fox News. The publicity caused the administration to reverse that decision.[2]
During the early 2000s, the magazine promoted support for President Bush and the Iraq War. Other stories have involved alleged misappropriation of money by an organ of the student government, and the use by the university of student funds to campaign against a California ballot proposition.
