SHAME
ON THE DENVER POST: Passing off fake, industry-paid news as journalism
has reached a new low at The Denver Post. Colorado's largest paper has
created an entire fake news section called "Energy and Environment"
where every "article" is an actual paid pro-fracking piece by the oil
and gas industry. See the atrocious behavior yourself >> http://ow.ly/vF5Cn (Note: the landing page has trouble appearing on mobile devices)
While newspapers and magazines have long run advertisements and banner ads, The Denver Post has crossed the line by cloning the paid section (everything - down to the "In Other News" blurbs on the side...) to look exactly like the paper's real articles. It's highly disturbing behavior that should send shivers down the spine of anyone who cares about democracy and a free press.
