Oh, well.
Maybe I should have underscored, "Newspaper."
Have tried to use Bogota Post, there's no "news" part there.
Example of one of their hot stories:
President Duque Doubles Number of Active Soldiers in Catatumbo
By Jordan Jones - October 29, 2018
In closing, President Duque made a rallying cry that echoes the tough-on-crime sentiment that he campaigned on; a view that he also shares with US President Donald Trump. Recently, President Donald Trump deployed over five thousand troops to the border of Mexico to meet a caravan of Central American migrants travelling toward the region.

The City Paper? Probably not. No journalism involved.
It's no accident that Colombia was known for YEARS as one of the worst countries in the world for journalists, with vicious murders of journalists dominating their lives. As they said themselves, publicly, the threats, the reality forced many of them to "self-edit" if they remained in Colombia at all, and so many of them simply fled the country to save their lives. One of Colombia's very best journalists had to engage body guards and a bullet proof car to simply deliver his children to school, and return them home, not to mention the terrorism he had to endure, along with his brother, another journalist.
Journalists who could even afford multiple body guards and bullet proof cars are in short supply. It's not a lucrative field for most reporters.
I stand on what I said, sorry.
By the way, I clearly remember a person who "participates" in this progressive message board actually sent information on something I posted at DU regarding something published by Colombia Reports, to the author, in hope he would take a verbal shot at me and take me down by attacking what I wrote. I was surprised as hell when he showed up here trying to argue, but it just didn't work. How do you think that happened? Clearly that was a case in which I disagreed with a Colombia Reports writer. Oh, well.
