Ach, the tangled skeins of modern journalism/politics/NGOs. Let me walk you through the timeline.
- First, it just recently came out that Senator Mark Udall’s office tried to strong-arm Colorado’s Division of Insurance back in November into retracting the perfectly-accurate statement that Obamacare caused about 250,000 people to get insurance cancellation notices.
- Oddly enough, on 01/09/2014 the Denver Post came up with an article written by Allison Sherry and Michael Booth (this will be important later) that did its best to explain, minimize, discount, fold, spindle, and mutilate the report that a US Senator’s office was more interested in having a state government report politically palatable numbers than accurate ones. Imagine that.
- Actually, you don’t have to imagine anything. You just have to know that Michael Booth is leaving the Denver Post for the Colorado Health Foundation.
