FaceTheState Discredited

The Republican noise machine in Colorado has been working overtime to promote their new website, FaceTheState, as a legitimate news source and political operative Brad Jones, as a legitimate journalist.  In fact, Jones has called for “higher journalistic standards” in political reporting.

During his recent right-wing media blitz, Jones made the following statement while appearing on Backbone Radio:

“If, if you don’t like what I’m saying, talk about what I’m saying. Don’t launch an attack on me or the site. Discredit us.”

Naturally, Colorado Media Matters has obliged with an item highlighting journalistic errors committed by FaceTheState.  Read the item HERE.

These are flat-out errors.  Will FaceTheState correct them?  I won’t hold my breath.
