Yeppers, our county assemblies were today. In Weld County, Republicans and Democrats convened at separate locations and had pretty much the same attendance. But you'd never know that by reading the Greeley Tribune. This is the event reportage that greets readers, and no, there is no article about the Democrats' gathering. Yes, the paper is routinely accused of being a "liberal rag".

UPDATE
This morning there is an article about the Democrats' assembly. Unlike the GOP article, it has only one photo. It also lacks the candidate profiles that were part of the other article, and the thing is less than half the length and none of the depth of the other.
Amusing that both articles carry the same "date", given that the first appeared a good twelve hours before the second was added in the middle of the night.
