Colorado Times Recorder is a Colorado political news and opinion publication and one of the largest recurring retained source corpora in this repository. Its own About page says it launched in 2016, covers Colorado politics and Colorado's congressional delegation, and operates with a nonpartisan progressive orientation.
In this repository, Colorado Times Recorder matters as a publication entity because its archived article corpus supports many existing Colorado education-politics, Christian-right, campaign-finance, election-denial, and public-record synthesis pages. The repo has a bulk WordPress API ingest manifest and thousands of retained source captures under raw/articles/.
This page treats Colorado Times Recorder as a publication source, not as a neutral authority for every claim it publishes. When CTR reporting is used downstream, repo pages should preserve source attribution, distinguish reporting from primary records, and avoid converting repeated CTR coverage into proof of claims that require independent records.
