Denver Post Stealth Edits Out ‘Socialist’ from Profile of Arapahoe School Shooter | Mediaite

Denver Post Stealth Edits Out ‘Socialist’ from Profile of Arapahoe School Shooter | Mediaite: "The edited post did not remove a passage which notes how Pierson described himself as a “Keynesian” who regularly attacked the free market philosophies of economist Adam Smith.

No one is suggesting Pierson’s political beliefs had anything to do with his crime. But what is the logic for editing out a carefully reported account of who this person was in life? Why does the Denver Post not trust its readers to be able to consume the unvarnished truth?

Important questions, but don’t hold your breath for answers."
