Praise for the Colorado Times Recorder

• “There are ideologically-oriented outfits on the left that have also done some very good work covering extremism in Colorado – Colorado Newsline, Colorado Times Recorder.” - 9News’ Kyle Clark on the Get More Smarter podcast Feb. 21, 2024. He lamented that there are “so many journalists in so many different newsrooms are making the choice to ignore extremism.”
• In an article headlined, “QAnon Looms Behind Nationwide Rallies and Viral #SaveTheChildren Hashtags,” NBC News’ Brandy Zadrozny and Ben Collins reported: “Regardless of their public online postings and event pages, local media coverage of the events has been widespread and credulous, almost never mentioning the events’ QAnon connections. A few local television and radio stations have advertised lists of the events on their news websites. “The Colorado Times Recorder served as an outlier with its report last week: “Denver Anti-Child Sex Trafficking March Rooted in QAnon Conspiracy Theories.”
• Jason Salzman has “always been a good guy and stand-up journalist,” Jon Caldara, Director of the right-wing Independence Institute.
• The Colorado Times Recorder deserves “accolades in their roles for fighting intolerance, bigotry and creeping fascism, especially as it comes in [the] form of right-wing media.” — Craig Silverman, a columnist for the Colorado Sun.
• “Great work… I’m amazed at what you are able to cover and how others don’t address some of the same stories,” Aaron Harber, host of the Aaron Harber Show, a public affairs program.
• Jason Salzman “does some of the best work out there, I believe.” — former ColoradoPolitics reporter Joey Bunch.

• “No one in Colorado is harder on me than Jason Salzman. A noted Colorado blogger, Jason is as hard left progressive as I am hard right conservative. But I’m cool with Jason b/c with him it’s never personal. He attacks my words, my ideas, but not ME. Those are very different things. If he decides to come after something I’ve said or typed Jason first picks up the phone, calls me & says, ‘Derrick, its Jason. I’m going to publish a piece about [whatever I’ve done to irk him this week] but before I did wanted to get your perspective.’” – Derrick Wilburn, former vice-chair, Colorado Republican Party.
