The Post moves even further right

It's hard to pick the most irritating aspect of the puff piece the Sunday Denver Post ran about Tom Tancredo. There's the fawning headline, "Firebrand Tancredo puts policy over party line." There's the relative absence of liberal voices to balance the article. There's the story's placement on the front page of the news section, despite having no news in it. And there's the fact that the article took Tancredo's re-election in 2006 as a foregone conclusion. Heck, in the Post's view, the only question is whether Tancredo will run for President in 2008.

The Post has drifted steadily rightward. But I thought the publisher's controversial decision to endorse Dubya was the furthest the paper could possibly go. Apparently not.

Defeating Tancredo in 2006 would get this loudmouth out of our hair forever. Then the Post could get back to running hardcore investigative reports about holiday shopping and Broncos football. Go Bill Winter, go!
