Colorado Governor Attempts to Dictate Editorial Policy

Normally the Democrat Party and the media are for all intents and purposes the same entity. But sometimes these two central pillars of Big Moonbattery fall out of sync. That’s when a little muscle has to be applied, as when Colorado Governor Jared Polis’s press office leaned on a pair of small-town papers to take down a story because the source was associated with the Koch family.

The Kiowa County Press in Eads and The Chronicle-News in Trinidad refused Polis spokesman Conor Cahill’s request this month to “unpublish” the story, a straightforward account about a new state office dedicated to the future of labor that Chicago-based The Center Square wrote.

Cahill didn’t ask for a correction but objected to the group’s affiliations…

The Center Square was launched in May 2019, focusing on state, statehouse and public spending coverage. It’s affiliated with the Franklin News Foundation, formerly the conservative Franklin Center for Government and Public Integrity, whose donors have included groups funded by the Charles Koch Foundation.

It’s not that the story has anything wrong. It’s that the Koch family has been designated as a den of thought criminals; therefore, anything associated with it is politically unclean. Cahill denounced The Center Square as a disreputable (i.e., not reliably pro-Democrat) news source, even though some of its coverage has been supportive of Polis.

If you think news coverage is politically biased now, wait until Democrats get the leverage to crush any source of information that is not overtly compliant with their ideology. Everything else will be found to be racist.
