Since Colorado Media Matters launched in July, media reports regarding the November 7 election have been a significant source of falsehoods, dubious claims, and other misinformation. At the same time, media outlets and journalists across Colorado have addressed issues raised in our election coverage -- frequently by issuing corrections or follow-up reports. Colorado Media Matters has compiled some notable examples of how the media have responded when our research has pointed out reporting that was not accurate, credible, or reliable and that advanced a conservative agenda.
