The reason why genuine newsgathering media is liberal is because it's the job to challenge those with power. When power objects, genuine newsgatherers wonder why. From objecting to a city council's right to go into executive session or FOIA-ing travel expense reports of public officials at a conference, the point is to be the person in the trenches, working to make everyone be accountable. If they are, fine. It's weird that anti-govt MAGA doesn't want someone doing this job.
A note on one of your note items, from down here in Tex-ass.
There is one thing you'll never see at Buc-ee's (I have another name for it, in the same realm as unprintable limericks). This one missing thing (I don't know if that's the first Buc-ee's in Colorado or not) confirms that its patrons are part of a cult.
No pole-type marquee sign for gas prices. In other words, they expect the cultists to stop anyway. (On I-35W from me, on the way down to Fort Worth, near Texas Motor Speedway, there's a Circle K on the other side that's invariably a penny or two cheaper.) I've been to or by about half a dozen. Never seen a marquee sign.
We cannot honestly deny that our most popular news organizations, up to and including The Denver Post (for which I did op-eds for many years) have their own points of view which sometimes are on full display, and more often than not, are on the progressive if not left-wing side of the aisle. But I always have argued that journalists with integrity are perfectly capable of and willing to step out of the shoes that carry their bias and fairly report the news. Likewise, while I don't know Brian Porter and personally don't walk on his side of the aisle, I would trust him-- despite his association with a biased media organization, whether right or left-- to be a fair leader of the Press Association.

I kept looking for a mention of The Gazette in Colorado Springs as an example of a very conservative news outlet. In addition to the right leaning editorial pages the Gazette now seems to run a whole bunch of “news stories” that are more editorial types columns directly from the Washington Examiner—both having the Anschutz name all over them.

OK, I'll bite! What ... is it?

Notable!
