Former 9News reporter: Station lost integrity after security guard gunned down Keltner ( Denver )
Colorado Peak Politics ^ | Apr 9, 2021 | Steffan Tubbs

Posted on 04/09/2021 5:00:45 PM PDT by george76

Former 9News reporter Lori Lizarraga went on 710 KNUS with Steffan Tubbs this week to discuss her scathing editorial revealing the various forms of discrimination she experienced working at the station.

Tubbs asked Lizarraga specifically about what the culture at the station was like after a contracted security guard for 9News, Matthew Dolloff, gunned down conservative activist Lee Keltner at an October rally near Civic Center Park..

“I was not alone in feeling like we had lost our integrity, or our ability to hold other people accountable,” Lizarraga replied.

Lizarraga says she unsuccessfully attempted to “hold [9News] accountable from within.”

“I understand if there are just so many unanswered questions, and I am sorry about that,” she said.

Dolloff has been charged with 2nd degree murder, but has yet to enter a plea in the case.

Here’s the transcript of her exchange with Tubbs:

STEFFAN TUBBS: One question I have, and it comes from a text. I was going to ask this, and I want to tell you, I am putting you in a corner. So if you would rather not answer, you don’t have to. Last year, we on this program, and Colorado, learned two names: Matthew Dolloff and Lee Keltner.

And I am just wondering, if you are comfortable enough to just say, what was that like with that shooting, that to me was cold blooded murder? I’m not going to ask you to talk about that. But what was the culture, what was the newsroom like in that horrible time for the Lee Keltner family? And it hasn’t been a picnic for Dolloff either.

LORI LIZARRAGA: What I can say is that was, and is, a horrible blip in the whole portion of the two years I was part of 9. In every single way that you look at that situation. We weren’t in the newsroom, because of COVID, so to talk about what the newsroom was like it’s difficult to say.

But I was not alone in feeling like we had lost our integrity, or our ability to hold other people accountable. And that’s what I can say about that. I’m desperately sorry that it happened. I wish I had more answers.

TUBBS: No –

LIZARRAGA: I tried even within the news organization to hold us accountable from within, and wasn’t able to do it from the inside. So I understand if there are just so many unanswered questions, and I am sorry about that.

Company shareholder accuses 9News of systemic racism, Kyle Clark takes an unannounced vacation..

9News and parent company TEGNA have been accused of systemic racist behavior, according to a filing submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) this week.

News of the filing came Thursday, just as the station’s top personality coincidentally announced he would be taking an extended vacation.

That was the leftie tactic last summer, harass conservatives and kill them when they react.

We saw that time and time again... but then we were told it was the Trump supporters that were the violent ones. Disgusting.

Antifa has already activated trained execution teams as we say when that Patriots’ Prayer man was murdered.

I believe this was intended to be a killing from the start.

I believe the “guard” was hired specifically to do the killing

I believe the “news” agency acted voluntarily, knowingly and willfully as the trojan horse to get the killer up next to his target..

Dolloff is out on bail, and police loosened restrictions “after talking to the victim” Who do the police think the victim was? This is a sham trial.

Is Dolloff in jail awaiting trial? He should be.

November 3, 2020.. Matthew Dolloff..walked out of a jail.. Kamala’s bail fund for Antifa criminals ?

Last month, a judge declined to lower his $500,000 bond after saying photographs of the shooting do not support Dolloff’s argument he was acting in self-defense.

Since the author doesn’t understand what an antecedent is, she went on a Denver radio show to talk about her treatment at a Denver TV station.

“Planned murder”

Looked that way to me at the time. But with mayor handycok in charge, no charges filed.
