Say hello and give a big welcome to the just launched Colorado Media Matters. CEO David Brock and Colorado Editorial Director Bill Menezes explain:

Since May 2004, Media Matters for America has posted more than 5,000 items correcting conservative misinformation in the national media. Now, we bring this mission to Colorado.....While we continue our work at the national level, this week we are launching Colorado Media Matters.

It will replicate in Colorado our proven methods of monitoring and analyzing media reports every day and correcting conservative misinformation in real time. We will keep a watchful eye on Colorado media -- newspapers, television, radio, and the Internet.

Here's more:

What will you find at colorado.mediamatters.org? Like Media Matters for America, we don't attempt to identify "bias"; we deal in facts by identifying news or commentary that is not accurate, reliable, or credible and that forwards the conservative agenda. We focus on content, not intent.

    So TL, I don't want to be a pain, but you should be participating in Colorado MM, and not PoliticsCentral!

    Media Matters is a fact site, not an opinion site. They don't host independent writers as of now, they use researchers. But I'm in contact with them and will help them out however I can.

    I wouldn't mind getting that researcher's slot. Not at all. Unfortunately, I have almost zero public policy experience. That is, if you count blogging, without which I really DO have zero experience. So I doubt I could get in, even at the bargain-basement level.
