Denver Post Fires Penny Parker & Mike Littwin

And today I saw another last column from a writer who has been reassigned.

Littwin isn't as good as he used to be and Penny Parker was always a poor sub for Bill Husted, so I won't miss either one, but I am worried that Denver might lose its daily paper.

How many people still get a daily paper?

You may be right. By getting rid of Littwin, they just lost their one true communist. I don't know how a far left paper is going to get along without a resident communist?

When was Littwitt any good?

As soon as tablets get cheaper, the newspapers will be on their way out. Enviros should be thrilled.

As a very early adapter of technology (I'm a programmer who started programming when we still had those wooden framed things with the wires and little beads on them that you shifted the beads around to add and subtract) I was on the "internet" when it was DARPANET back in the 70's. I been getting my media electronically for as long as it's been available, on the many devices that have been developed over the years (yes, I'm a gadget freak). I don't care if the Enviros are thrilled or not. I simply find electronic media to be a highly convenient and nicely personal way to get the information I want.

your poll is limited.

I used to buy the paper when that is all we had. but I get all my news on-line these days

the Post isn't good enough for my dog to crap on

This is great news.

There's only two types of columnists at the post...

Socialist and Communist.

Good luck at the new job!

I didn't have any real bones to pick with Penny Parker but I always considered Littwin to be a flaming a-- hole. I stopped subscribing to the Denver Post when they started putting his BS on the first few pages of their newspaper. His tripe belonged in the editorial section.

I certainly hope the screen door doesn't hit Mike in the ass. Good riddance.

I enjoyed him 4 years ago when he was covering both the Dem & the GOP presidential nominations, but he hasn't been as good in this round. Or maybe, since I am accessing so much better presented information this time, his writing seems stale.
