They say it better...

Mike Littwin and Vince Carroll weigh in on U.S. Rep. Jared Polis' glee at the Rocky going under and his apology "to anyone who was offended." (Hey, isn't that a righty tactic - and for those of you who are good with it, well, we're good with it too!)

Meanwhile, David Bennahum, the president and CEO of Center for Independent Media, which operates Colorado Confidential (now Colorado Independent) called today to say that the center decided to give back Polis' money once he announced he was entering the primary. That happened in May 2007, according to this post at the political news site. The event i described yesterday occurred in August 2007. i have great respect for David Bennahum, and believe it's possible he didn't realize what was going on in Colorado. But the ME of Colorado Confidential told me when repressing a negative post on Polis that she'd discussed it with Bennahum and others in the D.C. headquarters.

Again, the point here, made far better by Littwin and Carroll, is that Polis, a congressman (my congressman, in fact), would prefer a media that tells only his side of the story.

And that's not journalism, folks.
