Pols is dying on the inside

Just days after left-of-center blog ColoradoPols.com announced they had been hit with a “cease and desist” order from the Denver Post (and several other newspapers under the same ownership umbrella)….Karen Crummy of the Post publishes an exclusive that the McInnis “water writings” closely mirror earlier writings by now Colorado Supreme Court Justice Gregory Hobbs.

The “water writings” story (won’t go into detail here) has been a favorite punching bag of the blue-blog, but here’s what they claimed immediately after they went public with the cease and desist order:

So here’s what we are going to do: Not only are we going to stop referencing passages from The Denver Post and other news outlets listed in this letter, but we’re going to go one step further. We’re going to go out of our way to not even mention these news outlets at all [COMPLETECOLORADO.COM EMPHASIS].We’ll just link to our partners at The Washington Post, or other local news sites, or any other of the thousands of other potential sources out there. We reserve the right to discuss something that might appear in one of these papers, but we’ll just do what traditional media outlets like the AP have done for decades – we’ll just say, “Humpty Dumpty fell off the wall today, according to The Denver Post,” and then continue on with our own writing. But for the most part, unless it is a truly important exclusive story that no other news outlet is reporting, you won’t again see us talking about The Denver Post

Technically, by letter of the law, we could copy and paste SEVERAL paragraphs from Pols here, but you get the idea.  ;)

Anyway, crow could be served much earlier than Pols ever expected.  How will they ever lay off this one?
