#3 This used to be the "right" paper, as opposed to the left birdcage-liner the Denver compost Post. But now its failing because it went left - its now merely the less left-ish paper in Denver, with some seriously stupid hippies like Mike Littwin writing for it.

I would hope a conservative company would take advantage of this to buy and run a conservative newspaper (and fire a lot of the editorial trash).

#4 both the news and the post are owned by the same company? I'll miss the news because I found it easyer (layout)to read during breakfast at the "Other Side." I won't miss the editorials except the ones by the KOA guy (can't think of the name).

#5 Agree, OldSpook, but the DP bought out, essentially, the RMN, and by osmosis sucked up all the revenue. We all knew more than 10 years ago it would come to this. That's what the left does--eliminate ALL competition. Just look at socialist/communist/dictatorships, etc. they all do it that way.
