Regardless of what George Lewis may believe, conversations with Sean Paige in his role at the Gazette were not that easy to come by if one represented a point of view he wishes to surpress. When contacted by our communications director about possibly setting up a meeting between Colorado Media Matters and the Gazette's editorial board, Paige rudely refused and hung up on her without so much as a "Have a nice day." A subsequent call on the same issue to the newspaper's managing editor, longtime news veteran Larry Ryckman, was met with a professional and open response. Editor Jeff Thomas also has engaged in professional, civil dialogue with Colorado Media Matters (and graciously drove to Denver last December to participate in our post-election media panel).
As Colorado Media Matters has documented, (http://colorado.mediamatters.org/issues_topics/...) Paige routinely distorted facts and repeated outright falsehoods to support the Gazette's editorial points of view. I sincerely hope that whoever succeeds Sean Paige has the editorial integrity to stick to facts and intellectually honest discourse in promoting the newspaper's points of view -- whatever they are.
