      A bit of a long thread coming up, but it’s an issue I’ve felt strongly about my entire career—and even more so over the last few years, as we’ve seen a shift away from edited content toward partisan press.

      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/ …

          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.

          As the Mergers & Acquisitons man of Oil & Gas Billionaire Philip Anschutz and his wide ranging Corporate Conglomerates, Bennet knows a little something about Vampire Capitalism. He's got millions in his pockets and billionare backers to show for it. Don't be fooled by fake tears.

          Then tell your rich buddies to quit decimating the Denver Post's newsroom.

          Does this look objective to you? Or national press is held to a lower standard?pic.twitter.com/drIk8Wcqd1

          “Reliable & Objective local press”...... Not in Colorado Mike......not for a long, long time! Of course it sucks for you to potentially lose your biggest supporter which consistently gives you a #PASS as a liberal extremist

          Accountable? Neither EVER told the public of the extreme corruption @DORAColorado or a single corrupt contractor license of the Front Range cities. If we had a reliable and objective press that didn't protect the wealthy and their corruption, you would not be a Senator.

          Is that the long thread or is there more? Does your appreciation extend to national press? How do you view the DHS plan compiling journalists, bloggers, sources and views into a database for tracking?https://thinkprogress.org/trump-administration-planning-to-monitor-journalists-and-bloggers-ed3849c2d72d/ …

          Reliable and objective press is dead. I can only speak for myself. For me the damage is done and realistically I don't see myself ever believing any madia again
