The papers merged, and are owned by the Denver Newspaper Agency. They pretend to be two different papers, even pulling occasional fake spats with each other. The RMN is still a little more conservative than the Post, which is Moonbat heaven with a couple of exceptions.

That figures. Probably also explains why there are 2 papers. “Positioning”.

Some years back (maybe ‘92?) I visited Aspen and was astonished to find THREE papers! (all small)

One of the locals explained: at first there was just the “mainstream” paper. Then an “alternative” paper started up, and started pulling readers from the mainstream paper. So the mainstream paper started a new paper to the left of the alternative paper to sandwich the interloper and get the lost readers back.

Newspapering — what a wacky business! I’ll miss ‘em when they’re extinct.

Nah...
