DENVER (AP) — The press office for Colorado’s liberal Democratic governor, Jared Polis, is facing criticism after asking two small-town newspapers to take down an online news story reported by what it calls a biased news organization affiliated with the conservative Koch family.
The Kiowa County Press in Eads and The Chronicle-News in Trinidad refused Polis spokesman Conor Cahill’s request this month to “unpublish” the story, a straightforward account about a new state office dedicated to the future of labor that Chicago-based The Center Square wrote.
Cahill didn’t ask for a correction but objected to the group’s affiliations and said the story should run in the opinion section. The request stunned those who work at the papers, which increasingly rely on content supplied by startups such as The Center Square as they and other legacy news media have cut staff.
