Can someone tell me how reputable gazette.com is?
From Wikipedia: “The Gazette’s op-ed section and editorials leans politically conservative and tend to favor Republican politicians and policies.” fwiw
Yeaaa that’s gonna be added to my block list.
yeah they’re a fairly reputable paper on local issues but extremely conservative in general and should probably not be taken with much salt outside of Colorado-based news. this is also a reprint from an even more conservative/far-right outlet
Colorado springs is an evangelical cult town
Big exaggeration if you have ever lived there. The cultists have a strong presence and lots of power but they are a minority of residents in the city.
The evangelicals control all major centers of power in the city and it’s the headquarters of multiple Christian terrorist organizations, like Focus on the Family and the US Air Force Academy.
It’s a city of half a million people, most of whom have little or no connection to those organizations. And they just elected a politically independent black Nigerian immigrant as mayor. It’s a lot more diverse and complicated place than just a cult town.
That mayor is a former pastor who teaches at evangelical churches.
Actually I failed to notice this is a reprint from the Washington Examiner. I should have picked a better source but this seemed to have a lot of information.
I will check better next time!
I had to look them up too, haha. But thank you anyway.
