When I grew up in Denver (actually Lakewood) late ‘60s early ‘70s, there were two papers: Denver Post and Rocky Mtn. News.

My folks subscribed to the Rocky Mtn. News — mainly because it was printed in a “book-style” format and was easier to read. My best friend was a paperboy for Denver Post.

I was under the perception that the Rocky Mtn. News was the more conservative of the two. But what did I know then.

Are there still two papers? Is one more “conservative” than the other?

Of course I realize that they may BOTH be liberal rags by now...

You are right Nervous Tick in that they are both liberal rags now; however, if I had to pick one over the other, for instance to wrap my fish in rather than just throwing it away, the News is marginally better.
I grew up in Denver same time frame as you...I will be fifty in December...went to Holy Family High School in north Denver and still live in Thornton. How about you?

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.
