10 thoughts on “The Paper of Record Does Its Job: Romanoff Is Lying About Bennet”

1. You’re absolutely right. Mr. freemarket Vince Carroll and the other editors who have made clear they are behind Bennet did their job. They defended the bizarre endorsement they made by endorsing somebody they described as a disappointment who they hoped would change. They did their job of using the opinion column to back up their guy.

   Their reporters also did their job of reporting the facts. Those facts are at odds with the moral values of the Democratic party but all together consistent with the editors of that paper. So they let a reporter do a feature story that talks about pensions and creditors bleeding millions while Anschutz made hundreds of millions and Bennet pocketed over ten million.

   Easy to point to the editors opinions as proving Michael Bennet is actually a brilliant businessman. The reporters who stick to facts did a story yesterday that painted the full picture. Bennet was good. Good at being ruthless and at making money for himself and Anschutz at any cost and no matter what price others had to pay. Put a company billions into debt to line your own pockets.

   I guess all involved did their job.

   1. still no diary about why you support Romanoff.  I can’t believe it.  

      Write it, post it and if it’s non-screed, it will get frontpaged.  Or if it’s too hard- just skip it.

      11 days.

2. can use some of his financial wizardry in his few remaining months in the Senate to do a nice interest rate swap for the federal government. That would be nice. Solve all our problems now wouldn’t it?

   1. are outside his purview as Senator.

      Yes, the Treasury manages a portfolio of debt. So does the Federal reserve.  So do many public entities.  It’s not for the weak of heart nor the uninformed – I don’t know about your heart but you have already acknowledged you don’t understand.

      1. 
         As Regal and the other chains fell toward bankruptcy, they closed screens and cut jobs to stave off collapse. Between 2000 and 2002, Regal, Edwards and United Artists shed more than 2,400 of about 26,000 jobs, including some theater closings in metro Denver...Anschutz personally got $368 million in the first dividend and $372 million in the second, with his top managers taking in additional millions. Bennet’s income-tax statements show he made $6.5 million in 2003, and $5.3 million in 2004.

         That is from an article from the Denver Post – a researched article, not an editorial from Vincent Carroll a right wing writer.

         1. What’s been said is these places employ more people now than they did then, but they would have employed zero if they’d all gone out of business.

            I love how you people pretend like there was no recession.

            How many more days before silly season is over?

            1. Yes- jobs were lost.
               
               But in an effort to save the companies.

      2. nor I so ignorant.

         My comment was in response to this quote in the diary:

         “Colorado’s next senator should have experience and expertise in finances to deal with the nation’s fundamentally flawed budget.

         But you already knew that, you just wanted to attempt some clever repartee and try to get a dig at me. FAIL.
