Analysis / Bias
The Colorado Times Reporter primarily covers Colorado Politics using moderately loaded language that favors the left GOP Candidate Buckley Paid Himself Thousands in Improper Mileage Reimbursements. This story and others analyzed rely on credible sources such as The Colorado Springs Gazette and government sources.
Editorially, they appropriately label opinion pieces that routinely favor the left, such as this Latinas Should Vote Their Values, Including Reproductive Rights, This Midterm Election. They also frequently denigrate conservatives like this I Thought Boebert’s Book Would Be Worthless, But I Reviewed It Anyway. Generally, the news is reported factually and with a left-leaning editorial bias.
