Media still trying to give Beauprez a break
On September 29, The Rocky Mountain News endorsed Bill Ritter. But since then, the paper has acted as if it wants a job in the Beauprez public relations department.
Media Matters reports that on October 11, the Rocky "uncritically repeated Beauprez's claim that two sales tax proposals that he supported would be 'revenue neutral.' In fact, neither of Beauprez's proposals appear to be revenue-neutral over the long run."
And yesterday, the paper led a story with this mind-blowing sentence:
Some people on Capitol Hill are as predictable as the sunrise - and Rep. Bob Beauprez is one of them.
The lead begins an entire story that seems designed to combat the Both Ways Bob label.
The Rocky is already on record calling Beauprez's stand on Referendum C "unconvincing" and noting his "mysterious embrace and then repudiation of Amendment 38." They can't portray him as a model of consistency now.
