Unfortunately, the real lesson Brad Jones needs to be taught by liberals is how to tell the truth.
As Colorado Media Matters has documented (http://colorado.mediamatters.org/issues_topics/...) , despite his claims to operate a "news" site and his remarks to media that he wants "integrity" in journalism, Jones routinely engages in misinformation of the basest type. He distorts through misleading headlines the actual content of news stories reported by real news organizations, is an online waterboy for the state GOP without admitting so and falsely criticizes other organizations -- such as Colorado Media Matters -- for being secretive about their funding sources while refusing to divulge his own.
In other words, Jones' M.O. is to lie and promote misinformation while claiming that he does not. Fortunately, Colorado Confidential has taken the time to draw the curtain back and start putting a bit of daylight on this character, which likely will help speed up the expiration of his 15 minutes.

Wasn't there a Colorado Citizens for Ethics in Government complaint filed against a few months ago questioning whether the GOP Senate staff was using state time for political gain?
Maybe nothing was found and the complaint was just a prop... therefore, no story or update.
If I recall, this was lead-story material for this Web site for during the late part of the Legislative session.
