KRDO NEWS CHANNEL 13 & The Colorado Springs Gazzette go after one another.

ABC station KRDO News Channel 13 and the Colorado Springs Gazette are ripping each other over the way they are each covering a story regarding Colorado Springs Identity as "Olympic City USA".   

The newspaper who is "all in" on the idea of Colorado Springs using "Olympic City USA" has called KRDO's reporting on the subject "sensational" & has reported that the city might have an identity crisis.  

KRDO fired back accusing the editor of the Gazzette of bias reporting & having a "Poorly Researched" article. 

After you read the article, please let me know what you all think of this, I think it's silly. But maybe it will boost ratings for KRDO??
