Washington Post misses on gubernatorial race: Part 1

Today's Washington Post has an article headlined "Colo. Governor's Race Looks to Be Tossup." Which is true, if by "tossup" they mean "landslide." Because the most recent polls show Democratic nominee Bill Ritter with a 16 to 17-point lead.

Where did the Post get such a misleading article to print? Colorado-based AP reporter Steven Paulson, who has been called out before by Media Matters for his slanted coverage of the governor's race.

I emailed The Washington Post's national news editor to ask if the paper is aware of just how far off base its story is. I'll let you know if I hear back.
