Denver Post reporters did such a lousy job of covering the Western Conservative Summit last year, organizers were not inclined to grant the paper credentials to attend and report on this week’s event.
Western Conservative Summit has decided, for first time in 13 years, to deny press credentials to the Denver Post. For a few reasons:
1. Inaccurate reporting – Last year they reported no protests of Andy Ngo. Here are Summit youth being protected by Denver Police from protestors. pic.twitter.com/G3J1PfP6eR— Jeff Hunt (@jeffhunt) May 27, 2022
PeakNation™ will recall our reporting at the time that Post reporters must have tragically been struck blind.
How else to explain the paper’s blatantly erroneous reporting that “no protesters were spotted inside or outside Saturday,” while our Twitter feed was full of photos of protestors, which we shared with readers in our report.
We checked the story again on Wednesday to see if the Post ever made a correction to last year’s story, and to their shame, they have not.
As KOA’s Mandy Connell observed, the Post can still buy tickets to attend the event.
However, it will do them good to try covering the Summit from outside the building, alongside all those invisible protestors.
