No where in America is it so clear that corporate control will be the end of us, creating a land of barking dogs, minions and shills. Just cause you wear a cowboy hat doesn't make you a cowboy.

The nature of print news has changed and providers can not figure out how to handle the sea change the Internet brought. In Denver they came up with a liberal bias (no Boondocks, no controversy, no arts coverage) lots of PC and Post is sinking like a stone. The Rocky is about the same on the Republican side, they are doing a tad better. They are dying from lack of relevant reporting and intelligent editorial stands. The NYT is bumbling along with some good work but the smell of rot is in the air there. Washington Post is there playing in the rubble of the Bush mess like a five year old on an abandoned battle ground only a matter of time before they find something really deadly to trod upon.
