According to some that I have spoken with the editor of the Times was just too liberal for the people of Fort Collins which is where he was editor before coming back to El Paso.
One rumor is that the readers put pressure on the newspaper to have him removed.
Looking into that I found the following at 5280 [The Denver Magazine]
“Robert Moore, editor of the Fort Collins Coloradoan, told a gathering yesterday that the newspaper industry is struggling and may never bounce back, adding that the situation is a “threat” to democracy because government will be less accountable without good watchdogs.”
He was certainly right.
Looking further I found these statements from our editor at mediamatters.org :
“It’s interesting to note that Colorado Media Matters holds others to standards that it will not apply to itself. It undermines your watchdog role when you disregard standards you proclaim to uphold…”
“The refusal of a watchdog to hold itself to the same standard it applies to others is another matter.”
Then at the close of his note he wrote this:
“I believe that the media needs to be accountable. But to cherry pick tidbits that support a hypothesis while simply ignoring all other information to the contrary isn’t good journalism and it’s not good journalistic criticism.”
Evidently at one time our editor knew right from wrong.
We deserve better

I doubt if there is a journalist left anywhere in the world. For one thing, the death knell was pretty obvious when they stopped calling them newspapers, and began to refer to the print media.

Sadly, No liberal type media-Radio-TV-Magazine-Newspaper- has been financially successful in Modern times thanks to alternative -Internet- media.
The Truth is OUT THERE!

There apparently was no Paso Del Norte Group or Weststar Sports in Ft. Collins Colorado.
