Regarding the governor's wandering bridge story, I kind of like the concept except I'd modify it into four shorter bridges with each coming out of the Capitol facing each direction of the compass. The east bridge would guide interested progressives to the headquarters of the hundreds of nonprofit lobbyists; the south bridge would go to the state employee union interests; the west bridge would go to the bar where the judicial types (lawyers & judges hang out and lastly the north bridge would lead to the captive journalists and their media outlets. I'd also add a small concrete box culvert for what's left of the republicans.

I'm afraid Coloradan's (and many others) already are.
For one, there is the notorious Hoodline that does "original reporting" on Denver and at least 40 other cities.

Reporter-free journalism is like non-judicial due process.
9NEWS used to partner with Hoodline. They aren't doing news avatars or AI personas yet are they?
You are right. As far as I know Hoodline gives them names but doesn't really try to create personas or avatars.
