On the most recent episode of HBO’s Last Week Tonight, host John Oliver used Vice President Mike Pence association with Colorado Springs-based Focus on the Family to support his argument that the veep is a hypocritical homophobe. Now, FOTF president Jim Daly has fired back with a post that brands Oliver as “vulgar and vile” and suggests that gay conversion therapy, an organization-supported technique that allegedly “cures” homosexuality, is widely accepted rather than condemned by medical experts everywhere. But Daly has also invited Oliver to attend an event next week in Colorado Springs at which Pence’s wife and daughter will discuss a new book about the family’s pet rabbit, Marlon Bundo.

Late last year, the City of Denver agreed to pay $4.65 million and make major changes in its jail policies to settle claims involving Michael Marshall, who died in a Denver detention center circa 2015 during a mental-health crisis captured on video.

The March 15 episode of the rebooted NBC sitcom hit Will & Grace offered a hilarious take on Colorado’s gay wedding cake controversy. And by the end of the show, President Donald Trump wound up as both winner and loser.

The Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing of iHeartMedia represents a startling descent in fortunes for a corporation that owns more than 800 radio stations across the country, including ten of the most powerful signals in the Denver market. The firm once known as Clear Channel insists that it will be business as usual during the bankruptcy process, but its circumstances are already drastically reduced from the period around the turn of the century, when it was considered an unassailable broadcasting colossus.

Early on March 15, after yesterday’s announcement that Denver Post will lay off thirty employees, the Denver Newspaper Guild, the union that represents most staffers, published a message to Alden Global Capital, the hedge fund that owns the paper: “Sell The Denver Post Now!” In addition, the DNG estimates that the number of journalists at the broadsheet will actually number fewer than fifty once the layoffs are complete.
