When I was Superintendent of Denver Public Schools, Rocky Mountain News & @DenverPost held each other accountable—resulting in accurate, high-quality journalism. I often say my job would have been very different were it not for reliable & objective local press.

Now the Rocky Mountain News is gone, and today over two dozen employees at
@DenverPost are being shown the door (after years of other major cuts). This editorial is worth a read, because, as the headline indicates, we must save the Denver Post:https://www.denverpost.com/2018/04/06/as-vultures-circle-the-denver-post-must-be-saved/ …Show this thread -
As the Editorial Board points out: “Reduction in quality leads to a reduction of trust.” In a hyper-partisan &“fake news” oriented world, a lack of trust in local papers is the last thing our society needs. A free & vigilant press is essential to our function as a democracy.

We stand with
@DenverPost journalists–& journalists around our state/country–who are doing everything in their power to salvage newsrooms while continuing to inform communities. Thanks for all of your hard work to defend free press, use edited content & preserve our civic future.Show this thread

Man, you don't spend enough time on Twitter if you think this is a long thread :) I agree with you though. Loss of local news outlets seems like it can only have a negative impact on our information consumption.

"Toward"? It already is. What the heck is DHS doing creating dossiers on journalists? Bot MSM and small town news? Please tell us what THAT is all about, please.

Long threads? See
@SethAbramson on the scandals & threats against our country. Please let us know how you can do something to persuade GOP that we are at a crisis with this poorly informed and out-of-control POTUS. I fear we will have a civil war primed by Trump's misinformationThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Mr. C would posit that not all partisan media is bad. I hope this doesn’t conclude with a “both sides do it” non-equivalence. It’s been said over and over: You’re entitled to your own opinion, but not your own facts. Right-wing Hate Radio And Fox “News” are unique in this regard.

This is a bit of a short post, Senator Michael Bennet, the former Mergers & Acquisitions man for Philip Anschutz, is a shameless hypocrite.

Of course you want the Post to continue. They are leaning so far left I don't see how they keep from falling over.

That was really intended for
@SenBennetCO but, if the shoe fits.....

You stand with the Post. Cool. Ever thought about standing for Coloradans a little more? You work for the banks, not for the people. That's wrong.
