"Face the State" Makes the News!

Wow

Just, wow. Fraudulent documents attacking state Democrats is so last year. This year they're making the complaints themselves. That's a sure way to get the facts right! Oh, wait....

It's OK, though, I'm sure another Westword puff piece will be right around the corner for them soon.

Again?

Last november FTS "uncovered" a mysterious Colorado Democratic Party email that supposedly used the term "educating the idiots" or words to that effect.

Jones ran the con on Caplis' afternoon hit job, Boyles toyed with it a couple days, cunny bob ranted about it for a show or two, then some how the thing died when the CDP demanded FTS show the proof.

Did the Westword editor really call FTS top blog a couple years ago?

You gotta be kidding me.

Actually...

the Westword award for best political blog (not reader's choice) was this year, way after the weekly in question had actually reported on the "educate the idiots" fiasco.

Sidenote, the author of the faux investigation story has a Web site:

Part of the problem is that traditional news outlets no longer allocate the resources needed to do in-depth investigative journalism because of budget cuts. And most Internet news blogs only comment on stories collected by the traditional media, as opposed to generating their own news content. Consequently, there are fewer people doing real reporting. This is a problem, but it's also an opportunity, which I plan to take advantage of with this new company.

I'm really at a loss for words at this point.

Thanks EMRosa, I had no idea

Holy cow.

"I ran Congressional offices for Musgrave for 4 years". That's a damning admission, one that completely compromises Burt's credibility permanently.

To call this dirt bag a hack, quack, phony and fraud would be an insult to hacks, quacks, phonies and frauds.

I can't wait until the American Psychiatric Association

comes up with a new mental illness for bloggers who "report" on the "news" they make. The severity of the diagnosis increases every time they link to their own content.

Oh wait, that's narcissism. Nevermind.

Now how does that work?

Funny how the Pols time stamp predates the online version of the TC story.  Although, it wouldn't be the first time Pols has manipulated its time stamps.

Think that's a time zone thing

Or else you solved one of the greatest mysteries in Colorado politics -- Brad Jones is one of the Dead Guvs, and he accidentally posted this before he posted his own breaking news! That'd be something!

Shh!

This one thinks he's on to something, if we let him keep going perhaps we'll figure out what he's talking about. We actually don't know as of now.

Public Service Announcement.

.
I am wiling to file complaints for $225 + fees.
Add $15/ hour if they need to be rewritten to be understandable.

This rate only applies to complaints against commies, pinkos, progressives and liberals.   Contact me for rates for complaints against conservatives.

.............

Also, as a new service to existing clients, of which I don't have any, and new clients,
I will post comments in agreement with your posts at this blog for $3.15 each.  Think of it as having a sock puppet, but without the hassle of having to keep track of all those different identities and passwords.

I bet you could franchise that.

Typical

Typical though kind of perplexing, I thought the Repubs had gotten smarter about this kind of thing.  Is it really that hard to find a shill to file a complaint anymore??.
