Daily Camera

The daily camera.
Reporting the news that doesn’t matter to people who don’t have anything better to read.
Or
Articles of no importance to one small boulder county demographic.
Or
The jester of papers where it’s ok to mock people and pat ourselves on the back
Or
This paper is written by a bunch of unintelligent, uncultured, untraveled losers who have never left Colorado.

After enduring years of Boulder city-​centric focus to the exclusion of much of Boulder County, with the inherent new-​wave touchy-​feely bent, on 2÷23÷2011 the Daily Camera printed a press release (thinly disguised as an article) from a rabbit slaughterer accompanied by a photo showing her holding and petting a rabbit she will kill and eat. The dishonesty and transparent endorsement of this wretched business was reprehensible. I cancelled my subscription, wrote to the editor, Unilocaled and will continue to use every opportunity to expose the journalistic train wreck that is the Daily Camera.

Direct Mail Department,
There must be better sources for having direct mail done.
Problems with the Daily Camera department include lack of service, lack of work force (they really need to hire additional people to bring their service up to a decent standard, archaic system for creating a mail list (you better have a LOT of time to work with them due to their strange database system).
Overall, would not recommend — pretty frustrating.

It just keeps getting worse and more trivial, and certainly reflects the ‘corporate’ point of view.
Especially annoying is the coy and condescending attitude that pervades much of the copy about all the things that make Boulder not just another cookie-​cutter Amerikan suburb.
And their website is even more lame.

A local paper that is supposed to serve all of Boulder county but really just serves the City of Boulder. The Camera is now in serious financial decline from years of serving the status quo and alienating readers rather than doing objective informational reporting. I began to loose respect for this paper when they came out with obnoxiously long editorials endorsing people like Richard Polk and then gently trying to justify themselves after he was arrested for drunk driving and drugs. The Camera is never critical of the City Council and you’ll choke on the paper’s lack of objectivity and political correctness. (And I use the term «arrested» loosely here. Richard Polk was ticketed and then taxied home by the Boulder Police.)
The worst thing about the Camera is that it constantly runs down Longmont and allows it’s readers to do so as well. What happened to «proudly serving Boulder County»? The reporters at the Camera are so stuck up that they think the City of Boulder IS Boulder County. The Camera runs down Longmont in so many subtle and overt ways-​from only running articles about crime in Longmont, to encouraging abuse of the city by the posters on the web site, to misleading headlines, and never writing a single positive article about Longmont or it’s citizens. Oddly enough, they never turn that same critical eye on the City of Boulder. And when crime in Longmont does happen, they devote days of articles to those crimes. When the same exact crime happens in Boulder, it gets a small mention and no follow-​up. Look through Camera headlines for Longmont for the past several months-you’ll be hard pressed to find a single one that is positive. And while you’re there-​check out the comments under those articles. It’s entertaining, but a true indication of how nasty citizens of Boulder can be.
And then there are the posters on the Daily Camera website-​every single time there is an article about Longmont, Daily Camera readers comment over and over and over again about the hicks in Longmont, about «good old methmont», etc. The Camera refuses to censor these comments. But when someone bashes Boulder? The Camera kicks them off. Worse, I’ve seen Camera editors devote entire editorials to demanding apologies from Boulder bashers. But Longmont bashing is an acceptable Camera activity.
I used to think I’d be upset when we didn’t have a local paper, but the Camera is going bankrupt because of poor service-​NOT the economy. Huge informational errors, biased reporting, Longmont bashing, militant defense of the status quo… who needs it?
The one exception to this is Ryan Morgan. He seems to accurately report on the City Council. But John Aguilar and all the kooky editors and columnists? Terrible.
And in case you think I exagerrate:

Aurora, Longmont and C Springs should have a royal rumble to decide once and for all which town is the most ghetto.

All this talk defending Longmont and its decidedly low brow residents is disengenious at best. It’s soooo obvious the trailer trash team has an inferiority complex. I think its time you people admit your station in life and get back to your daily grinds carving out whatever kind of life one can take from living in such a town as Longmont. «But, but but it’s in Boulder County!» You people are really dishonoring yourselve
