Anti-Ritter ads clutch at straws: part 2

In an earlier post, I ripped a misleading attack ad about Democratic gubernatorial nominee Bill Ritter. The fair and balanced folks at The Rocky Mountain News and The Denver Post both dutifully repeated the ad's ridiculous claim that Ritter is soft on crime. But Media Matters new Colorado site has followed up the story with new information:

...both articles failed to inform readers that the plea-agreement percentage cited for Ritter was similar to the national average

Ritter is about as soft on crime as I am on Both Ways Bob.
