Looks like Carroll brought his right-wing cancer plague to the Post.
What am I going to do for dog papers now.
What would you do if you didn’t think the Post was “right wing trash?”
Are you admitting that you only care about journalism when you agree with it, and the Post can pound sand because they don’t agree with you?
That’s the attitude that gave us Pravda. I say that as a victim of the liberal media for decades. You’ve got the wrong attitude about this and it shows.
What would you do if funding for your right-wing shill position ends in November?
I guess that’s why they feel the need to carry a gun in their pants at all times. What wimps.
There hasn’t been a liberal media bias if there ever was was one in the corporate media since Johnson. These pathetic dregs are still stuck in the 60’s.
“I say that as a victim of the liberal media for decades.”
candyass !
It is tilted so far right everyday that you are a fool to even consider it being fair and balanced. It is slowly sinking under it’s right wing feces and bringing on board Carrol and Harsanyi wasn’t going to right (pun) the ship. Their opinions are straight out of Karl Roves asshole.
You want to see Pravda reporting? Tune into Fake News any night of the week.
Before long Pols is going to be the go to source for Political news in Colorado.
NO, I’d rather not get my news from the most Machiavellian of conniving Democrat Party plutocrats and hit men in the state. Thanks though! You just convinced me to re up my subscription to the Post.
ABOT responds to being boxed in on that. Nicely done.
No reponse is typical but …well, I was going to say, “I have hope”…but thought better of it…
Sometimes I agree with stories in the Post, sometimes not. My point is that I would never trust a partisan blog as my only source of news on either side. The Denver Post is not perfect, nor its reporters, but there is a commitment to journalism there that no partisan blog can live up to.
I’m surprise you don’t agree with this, but I think you might really be ok with reading Pravda each day.
For all their manifest failures, newspapers at least aspire to accuracy and fairness. The further demise of the Incredibly Shrinking Post is bad news for all who care about public policy in Colorado.
The Post has been a pretty pathetic excuse for a major city newspaper for a very long time now. About the only thing saving it was the featured columnists like Littwin, Parker and others – and the fact that they pretty much had a monopoly on sports news.
But now the charade is over and the Post is fading into obscurity. I don’t see any viable financial strategy that will save it.
My annual subscription expires in June. If the Post lasts that long, I’m not sure that I will renew. It is too easy to get better information on the Internet – even if the Denver specific stories are sparse. But, if you don’t care so much about cops, robbers, fires and traffic accidents, there is not a lot of Denver news in the Denver Post.
The Denver Post has copy edetors?
ignoring the collision that happened years ago.
Cutting this paper to two editors and a security guard is not going to bring the newspaper to profitability. Maybe trying to become a competent newspaper that has quality, unbiased reporting on local and state issues might.
Oh, and there’s that web-thingie. Covering it with ads to the point you can’t see the stories doesn’t work either…
And that pretty much guarantees that they will go under. It’s too bad, having a quality local company that provides in depth news and all the daily info is a valuable thing.
But when the world radicallyl changes you have to adapt or die.
Don’t just say you’d be happy to meet with the DP. Tell us all what exactly you would do to make serious money for the DP to keep solid reporters and a corps of copy editors on staff.
But that doesn’t mean that the Post is not on the road to failure.
And I’m not sure the solution is to have a staff of reporters and copy editors. That’s trying to fit the old model to a new solution.
Instead start with what does a paper deliver that people find valuable. And what do advertisers fundamentally want. Start there.
Other than using a failed business model the Post is following the favorite Republican tactic – cut the good stuff and load up on the far right crap.
The near future of the paper is Spot Blog-like material, where light-weight amateur-hour “insight” abounds and revealing mistakes litter the stories, including the headlines.
You can’t turn tired reporters into sharp first-draft writers overnight… or ever.
Hold your nose and watch that big ship dip further under the waves. What a show!
And, I really, really, like getting up early in the am and finding the paper at my doorstop….Coloradopols does not come on new until about 6:45 am.
The Denver Post began its journalistic slide right after the Rocky Mountain News went under. Frankly, both newspapers needed each other to remain successful.
Dumping Mike Littwin is the only good thing the Post did. He really offered nothing new in his columns, which became annoyingly repetitive. Mike Keefe and Penny Parker were a loss though.
Shortly after both papers moved into the new digs — which I found to be incredibly sterile for all their “green” qualities — Singleton sold the building to an investor and leased back space. He told us that he wanted to operate newspapers, not buildings, and no doubt the move helped his cash flow. Once the Rocky Foldedn, space began available to sublet and the courts went there temporarily. If they want out completely, they could always move back across the street to the RTD terminal building where they rented space before. At the rate they are going, they could soon move into a phone booth — if phone booths weren’t as obsolete as print dailies.
