It appears that Darryl Glenn has a new strategy when dealing with the media.
Just tried to talk to Darryl Glenn after an event. He made clear he is no longer talking to @denverpost, CO’s largest newspaper. #copolitics

Wow. Can’t imagine where the sudden hostility came from. That’s sarcasm, because there’s little doubt that it came from this.
While we don’t think a media blackout of the state newspaper is the best strategy when trying to knock off an incumbent U.S. senator with money to burn, and free positive publicity whenever he wants it, we certainly understand why there is a lack of trust.
The situation also underscores what happens in a one newspaper town without any competition. Some may think a political candidate must speak to them no matter the circumstances.
FWIW … I asked Darryl Glenn to talk about the Iran deal. And he wouldn’t answer Qs #copolitics #COSen

Trust goes both ways, but in this case, Glenn has cause to be cautious.
The only thing that surprises us, is that the Denver Post is surprised by the Glenn’s cold shoulder.
