Sometimes I forget why I quit the Denver Post

[mountain grammy]

then my husband takes me out to breakfast this morning and there's the Sunday Perspective page on the table. I see Cory Gardner's face on the Op Ed page and make the mistake of reading. He's telling us how he knows all the answers in the Iran deal because of Beruit, blah, blah, bullshit, and Obama is selling us down the road of destruction and eeeevil....

And there goes my peaceful breakfast. Fuck you Denver Post for promoting this idiot's ideas. Fuck you Cory Gardner, you climate change denier piece of shit. You want a fucking war, put on a uniform and go fight it yourself.

Thanks, I feel better. Now I can go make my deviled eggs without poisoning anyone.

Have a nice day.

Edited to add: My husband and I actually solved the problem by talking to each other instead of reading the Post. Worked out fine.

1. We used to subscribe daily to the Denver Post.

When it endorsed Bush over Kerry in 2004, we only subscribed on weekends. Then, when it endorsed Gardner last fall, we said "fuck it" and threw in the towel.

2. Yes, I quit in 2004.

3. I subscribed to the

Rocky Mountain News for years until it folded. Then I went to the Post (at first it wasn't quite so conservative), but after their endorsement of Gardner I just gave up and wrote to tell them so. I still read it online some of the time, the same way I watch FOX until my BP starts climbing.
It's really hard to watch almost all US newspapers, including our local papers, being bought out by big news corps and spouting RW lies. We can never have a democracy until we take money and corporations out of elections and the media.

4. So true..

I miss the Rocky Mtn News. It was more conservative, but honest and had a good labor column on Saturdays.

7. I'm told a new version of RMN is being resurrected

By Philip Anschultz of all people!

8. I miss the Rocky Mountain News, too

I used to work with them as a part of my job, conscientious people, felt really bad when they folded.

5. my dad gets the sunday post just so he can get the coupons

and my sister takes the crossword.

6. How much is it now? $2 on Sunday

probably get that much in coupons, so for free, the crossword is good. My husband loves the crossword and I clip coupons, but I hate to start buying the right wing rag again. I'll never forgive them. Udall was a fine Senator who put the environment first. The Post couldn't live with that. They made that teabagger Gardner legitimate.

9. Did you see their editorial about Bernie Sanders?

It was pretty bad. They mentioned something about what he wrote in the 1970s. (I don't trust what they said so I won't repeat it.) You can check out the whole editorial here:
http://www.denverpost.com/editorials/ci_28208194/bernie-sanders-history-odd-views

The editorial is about his "history of odd views." Then they call his idea of 90% tax on the wealthy an odd view. They say this even though this tax rate existed before JFK.

They signed the editorial as the Denver Post editorial board but it reeks of Vincent Carroll, that old hold-over from the failed Rocky Mountain News. At that newspaper, they often put his editorials box--a border. You know, so the bad ideas couldn't escape. Its amazing that they don't criticize the GOP that much--given that the GOP is nothing but a front for misogynists, homophobes, war criminals and tax-dodging cranks like the Koch brothers.

10. No, I didn't see that.. I don't read the rag.

It's not allowed in my house. I will rarely even follow a link to it, but I followed yours, mainly to read the comments. Even comments from the right wingers have more intelligence than the Denver Post editorial board.
