The exodus of big-name talent from the Denver Post — a major theme of Alan Prendergast’s current feature article about the Post — continues.

This week on his Facebook page, Darryl Glenn, the Republican candidate for Colorado’s U.S. Senate seat, shared the results of a September 23 Gravis poll showing him leading Democratic Senator Michael Bennet by two points. A cause to celebrate? Perhaps — but only if Glenn and his backers ignore a…
Last December, the Colorado Department of Transportation debuted what it dubbed a Peak Period Shoulder Lane — shorthanded as PPSL — constructed along a thirteen-mile stretch of Interstate 70 heading eastbound from Empire to Floyd Hill.

Earlier this month, news outlets such as CBS4 reported that a man had been shot and killed near an RTD light-rail station at 29th and Welton Street in Five Points. And while that was true, this location information doesn’t help much when it comes to accurately measuring the number of…

“Dayle, we are all big fans and would sure like to see you drop 20 lbs. or so.” This e-mail was sent anonymously to 7News morning anchor Dayle Cedars earlier this month — and she could have shrugged it off. After all, the Internet can be a cruel place, particularly…
Last night, a CBS4 investigation about “dead voters casting ballots in Colorado” prompted a response from Colorado Secretary of State Wayne Williams’s office sent out at a highly unusual time: 10:39 p.m. “While vote fraud is rare, it does indeed occur,” Williams acknowledged in a statement. “Our office is working to ensure…

Darryl Glenn, the Republican nominee for the U.S. Senate in Colorado, says he isn’t worried about all those polls showing him losing by double digits to Democrat Michael Bennet, who currently holds the seat.

Chris Craig took center stage in one of 2013’s most bizarre stories: The former college basketball coach turned self-proclaimed “Islamic jihadist” was investigated but never arrested for publicly announcing that all Catholics and Mormons in Fort Collins “would be destroyed” over a two-week period. Now, however, Craig, who’s previously been treated…
