McCain/Palin in CO Springs

Thousands of GOP faithful flocked to the Colorado Jet Center in Colorado Springs Saturday for appearances by Presidential and Vice Presidential nominees Senator John McCain and Governor Sarah Palin. Colorado is shaping up to be a battle-ground state in the election, and the stop comes just days after the conclusion of the Republican National Convention. The candidates are scheduled to travel to Albuquerque Saturday, and Missouri on Monday. KRCC’s Andrea Chalfin reports.

  1. Over the years I have been disappointed as KRCC tried vigorously to grind the right wing’s ax while dismissing non-republicans who tried to gain some kind of attention from “their” station. I’ve largely stopped supporting or listening to the station because of these practices.
    Now on Sept 12 I came visiting and found a long list of REPUBLICAN stories. A person would thing that the Republicans had held their convention in Denver, based on the coverage lavish on them.
    Of the 15 stories listed on the front page, 8 are totally republican. Two refer to Obama’s speech. and two refer to government suppression of democratic free speech.
    Great job KRCC. Force the rationalists and liberals off YOUR airwaves and keep it pure for the righties.!!

  2. I stand behind our coverage of the recent conventions. We were lucky to have many reporters from Rocky Mountain Community Radio at the DNC, as well as Bente Birkeland attending the RNC. We played on-air and provided access to over 80 regional audio pieces during the conventions. The stories listed at KRCC.ORG are about the RNC because it was the most recent event. I hope you’ll take the time to explore the entire archive of stories at: http://krccnews.org/dnc/. We cover Iraq Vets, the Native American Vote, Stonewall Democrats and volunteer labor at the DNC, to name just a few.

  3. I guess KRCC no longer considers Pueblo to be part of its territory. ‘Cause if it did it surely would have covered Palin/McCain’s appearance there on Monday.. Oh.. yeah.. I guess that was Obama that drew thousands of KRCC listen in Pueblo on Monday. Now I understand why KRCC didn’t cover THAT campaign appearance.
