Summary: Colorado media outlets published numerous
falsehoods, provided misleading commentary, and uncritically parroted
Republican talking points during the Democratic National Convention in Denver. Will media figures
such as 630 KHOW-AM's Dan Caplis and KCNC CBS4's Raj Chohan correct
their inaccuracies, as The Gazette
of Colorado Springs

pointed out an error in one of its editorials?
Colorado Media Matters documented
numerous falsehoods, misleading commentary, and uncritical repetition of
Republican talking points during the local media's coverage of the
Democratic National Convention, held August 25-28 in Denver.

Alice Borodkin was term limited out of her seat in House District 9, and is now running for Ken Gordon's seat against the heavily favorited Joyce Foster.
