Denver Post Edits Out Arapahoe Shooter's Socialist Ideology

The shooter's political ideology is a key piece of information, since so much of the debate on guns and gun control points fingers at the evil right-wing NRA militia types.

So, the Denver Post has some "splainin" to do.

At Right Wing News, "Denver Post Omits That Arapahoe High Shooter Was a Socialist," and Gateway Pundit, "Denver Post Edits “Socialist” Out of Description of Arapahoe School Shooter."

Also at AoSQH, "The Tweetable Guide to Media Myths and Left-wing Violence."

Can you explain why you edited "a very opinionated socialist" into "very opinionated"? @denverpost

Do you routinely truncate interviewees' statements like this, or is this a sensitive case? @denverpost

Why did your paper truncate a source's description of the shooter from "a very opinionated socialist" to "very opinionated"? @DPLetters
