Sure the Denver Post should be better than this but I can't help but note that Colorado Pols seems openly dismissive of Mike Johnston's campaign for Governor.
1. No headline blog post about his campaign announcement (a la Kennedy and Perlmutter). In fact, no headline post at all about Johnston since 2012.
2. No mention of him at all in Perlmutter's announcement.
3. Disrespecting his campaign by tagging him as a second-tier candidate (and apparently destined to lose to Kennedy in your opinion).
4. Downplaying his record first quarter fundraising.
Having opinions is all well and good but you seem to want to bury the guy before he even has a chance. Please consider taking your thumbs off the scale a bit.
After all, that's all you're asking of the Denver Post, isn't it?
Speaking as one Jeffco Democrat with lots of family ties to Colorado public schools.
Fuck Mike Johnston. I will never support that Betsy DeVos sellout.
I'd like to read about that JeffcoBlue
Ditto, ditto, ditto to Jeffco Blue
Actually, pol s gavemike a big write up when he announcedhis fund raising results.
First of all, the Colorado State Button Society is a real thing? Second Michael Johnston is a second tier candidate. He will lose to Cary Kennedy and Ed Perlmutteer. Bookmark this post so you can refer back to it when it turns out I am right.
you want to edit a newspaper? Buy yer own or suck up to the Right Wing Billionaire owner.
This is merely Chuck Plunkett's bid for a Lynn Bartels-type job with Brauchler.
Who is this Perlmutter you speak of?
Denver Post editorial page editors have no influence on news coverage. Honestly.
the owner does……otherwise, why buy a paper?
Absolutely, zappy. As A.J. Liebling said, "Freedom of the press is a wonderful thing if you own a press."
I suppose that once you can get over the embarrassment of once having been a "newspaper" then getting over every other embarrassment is pretty much pro-forma . . .
You got a point there, judge.
I was flabbergasted at the paper this morning. That's a Saturday front page if I ever saw one. When something important happens on a Friday, my wife and I make a bet on whether it'll knock the fluff off the front page the next morning. Even when nothing monumental does happen, the tripe they lead with on Saturday pisses me off.
