The Colorado Springs Gazette, which owns the political news site formerly known as the Colorado Statesman and is owned and managed by the family of billionaire Phil Anschutz, has a long and growing track record for brazenly partisan bias in both their news and editorial coverage.

FOX 31’s Joe St. George takes a look at the local fallout of yesterday’s announcement by Speaker of the House Paul Ryan that he will not run for re-election–which naturally has an impact on Colorado’s most perennially vulnerable member of Congress, GOP Rep.

Rosenstein, who oversees the work of special counsel Robert S. Mueller III and in […]
Ten years ago, this was a photo to end a political career–especially a Republican’s. Today, it’s just Sen. Don Coram of Montrose in a marijuana bush. What a time to be alive.
As CNN reports, Vermont Republican Gov.

Walker Stapleton’s campaign for Governor should be happy about this. Probably. Going to support Walker Stapleton Saturday. There are two issues that matter most to me, opposition to sanctuary cities and electability. — Tom Tancredo (@TancredoTom) April 11, 2018 You might recall that Tom Tancredo lit into Stapleton’s candidacy after dropping out of the race for Governor in […]
UPDATE: Freelance reporter Sandra Fish firms up the propriety of “Questioning Coffman,” which lead Team Stapleton operative Andy George apparently made little attempt to conceal: The group registered in mid-March, so won’t have to report where the money is coming from until May 7. But the address listed for the group in corporate documents is a […]

As the Greeley Tribune’s Tommy Wood reports, something you really shouldn’t have to guess about has been shown once again to be correct in a new study conducted by the School of Public Health at the University of Colorado–all those hydrocarbon compounds being spewed into the air around oil and gas drilling sites that we […]
We’re less than seven months away from the November election, and if the rest of this year unfolds like the first 100 days have gone for Jason Crow, 2018 is going to be a banner year for the Aurora Democrat. Crow is the frontrunner for the Democratic nomination to take on incumbent Republican Rep. Mike Coffman in CD-6, and today his campaign announced […]
As the Greeley Tribune’s Tyler Silvy reports, GOP Sen. Vicki Marble’s jaw-dropping streak of embarrassing headlines remains unbroken: Colorado Sen. Vicki Marble, R-Fort Collins, on Monday was found guilty of ethical violations centering on her role in a public meeting on energy paid for by Extraction Oil and Gas… The complaint alleged Marble, whose district […]

The Denver Post’s John Frank documents an interesting if not-unexpected phenomenon in Colorado politics this year: the reluctance of Republican gubernatorial candidates to publicly embrace President Donald Trump during the period of the campaign it would be most valuable to do so, the Republican primary, where they are courting the segment of voters most loyal […]
A remarkable act of desperate rebellion is unfolding at the state’s newspaper of record, as the Huffington Post reports: In a move described as both extraordinary and brave, the editorial board of the Denver Post publicly skewered its hedge-fund owner in a searing article published Friday. The message was plain: Sell the paper before it’s […]
The Colorado Secretary of State’s (SOS) office announced this afternoon that Republican Walker Stapleton submitted just enough valid signatures to get his name on the June Primary ballot in the race for Governor.
