The Post never owned the News. Also, the News shut down in 2009, when Scripps owner of the News) failed to find a buyer for its half of the partnership that jointly ran the business operations of the two papers. They remained bitter rivals to the end.

The News, founded in 1859, was Colorado's oldest, and somewhat conservative paper.

The Post celebrated their victory by veering to the left, abandoning any hope of capturing the readers of the defunct News. That sealed their fate. I'm surprised they lasted this long and will be glad to see them go out of business.

Perhaps the News will rise again.

It must have been some of the people that worked for the news going to the post that confused me. My mind is not what it used to be.
