By now, you’ve probably seen the appalling video of Denver Post owner Dean Singleton giving a big, wet sloppy kiss of an intro to President Obama.

Headline 1. Romney’s statement about the “47 percent,” which according to the Post, “ignited a firestorm of criticism,” gets about 70% of the entire front page. It’s a headline that’s not just above the fold, it literally spills over the fold. From September 19:
What does the Post do with an Obama gaffe? (cough) It goes on page 17 A. Page (cough) 17A. Roughly 33% of the entire page.
What are the three rules of real estate? Location, location, location.

Cancelled DP during 2010 elections because of this.
Precisely why I no longer give the DP any of my money.
