In response to the person who asked about why Dish network no longer has CPT 12 available to its subscribers: I was watching Colorado Inside Out the other night, and one of the panelists was discussing the case involving Dish network and a paraplegic employee they had fired and won an appeal against, who used medical marijuana outside of work hours to treat muscle spasms. The moderator made a comment that maybe Dish's behavior in this regard should be taken into consideration when subscribing to satellite services;)~ It occurs to me that Dish could be retaliating by not broadcasting PBS. I personally will never use Dish network, and will advise anyone I know who subscribes to it on Dish's public position re: treatment of employees and medical marijuana use for qualified patients. If Dish has decided to censor PBS, I guess that would be consistent with its general reactionary position re: employees and medical marijuana. You decide if you want to support such a company.

Today is April 4,2013 I just viewed your show. And what I was hearing and please correct me if I am wrong. But did I not hear the panel making excuses why EBEL did what he did Mental Illnesses? Are you saying every KKK member has a mental problem this is why they go out and TERRORIZE people who are just living there lives? This very disturbing to hear a panel speak of such evil and with the same breath gives and excuse to why the person did what they did. Bottom line EBEL is and was a EVIL PERSON. Not only that the name of Nathan Dunlop keeps being drop; but what you fail to say is, that this child (Nathan) was BULLIED by his manager and his work mates. But you still consider him being a Monster. The justice was handled just as your opinions were thrown around. Did Nathan do the crime? Yes he did. What excuse have you given him? None . but another murder you GIVE an excuse for? Killing is wrong when one PLOTS to make it happen. In this case they BOTH are guilty. There's no good kill. Nor excuse. They both layed in wait to execute there plan. Stop making excuses for one and not the other.

Just watched this week's program. How refreshing to have a program where Dave Kopel is not there turning his response to nearly every topic into a diatribe against President Obama. He's getting a little tiresome.

Hello, I am a progressive politics journalist for the Examiner in Denver and really appreciate your programming, especially the show Colorado Inside Out. I am interested in adding to commentary or discussion for Colorado Inside Out or other CPT 12 programming. I enjoy discussing current events and politics and love learning from participating in dialogue and discussion. My work specializes in social movements and activism. I interviewed Noam Chomsky last year regarding Occupy Denver and the Occupy Movement. Here is a link to the video: http://rudr.coalliance.org/fedora/repository/codr:2557 and transcript: http://www.zcommunications.org/struggles-of-the-past-by-noam-chomsky Thank you, Chris Steele http://www.examiner.com/progressive-in-denver/chris-time-steele http://www.twitter.com/timeraps

On a recent talk show Mr Kopel made the statement that, our system is working, refering to ref 64. My opinion is that our legal system is "weak" at best and this is demonstrated every day. As an example using one of the latest issues on the ballot: . How did this even get on the ballot? Dosen't Federal law trump State law? Can't the Federal Goverment stop all funds if the state does not comply? It is clear that the people submitting this did not have a complete plan. How can a issue that has no positive value and is strictly for recreation only find a place on our constition? What is next, the game of marbles? And, if the state can have laws that conflict with Federal laws, then can cities or counties within the state have laws that conflict with state laws? and Is it OK for the state to create laws that take away citizen rights on the Constition of the United States? How far will this go? And when there are people testifying about a new amendment to our state laws, how is it that money and people from other states and countries, are brought in to further their cause especially when they do not live here or own property in the state and can't vote in ellections? I have lived in colorado 75 years and in the past 4-5 years the country has been split, politions are questionable and the system DOES NOT work!! Thanks,,,Glen W Crofford I have lived in Colorado 75 years and in the past 4-5 years the country is being split up, the politicans are questionableand the

I have to agree with another's statement, "David Kopel has got to go.". I think Penfield Tate is an intelligent, careful and enlightening guest, whose opticians are worth listening to. I'd like him to consider a run for governor. Kopel gives us reason to believe that anyone can get a law degree. That is, intelligence doesn't matter. But , really, did DU even vet the guy? He Lies on every show. Does he really believe that the house can just give Obama the option to make the cuts he wants in this sequester? I saw John McCain and Lindsey Graham both explaining why this isn't legal, and yrt Kopel believes iit is? Seriously, why would anyone consider DU a real law school? And, the guy just drones on. Pitiful. Thanks for the show. We usually watch each week, but mute Kopel. Does he pay you to be on?

Mr. Kopel's comments about women in the military with PMS was outrageous! I understand Rush Limbaugh making these remarks on his radio show(it's his show), but on a public access station is going too far! This is our station Colorado!

I am shocked by David Koppel's quote about women with "PMS" in the armed forces. He needs to apologize. I am not a member or the political correctness police - but this was way over the line.

David Koppels comments last night implying the the Aurora theatre shooter drove past two other movie houses showing Batman, to reach his destination, because its was a gunfree zone to committ his carnage was so outrageous and reckless it left me speechless. How long will CPTV continue to allow this unsubtantiated garbage to be spewed by David Koppel. He and his comments are offensive. Give me a break!!

Viewed MPT news with David Kopel as one commentator. After being disgusted with his "analsis" that guns with only a "cosmetic" resemblance to actual assault weapons are simply "ordinary" guns-despite (as another guest pointed out) having large clips. Few people are naive enough to believe that the appeal for these guns is simply for hunting or shooting. These weapons look like military issue arms, and therein lies their obvious appeal(at least to most people). It is unfortunate that a public TV station such as yours would feature an NRA hack like Kopel, who panders to the "gun crowd". I know of Colorado's wild-west history and understand the hunting ethic, but Kopel's comments showed an insensitive disregard for the suffering caused by Sandyhook, and reflects badly on your network. Have you all forgotten Colombine?

Hi, Love the show. I've been watching for over a decade. I believe you could improve the show if you had under 40 liberal panelists occasionally. There are currently several under 40 conservative on the panel. New blood. Dave Koppel is very intelligent, but sometimes comes across as abrasive. At other times he's respectful. Split personality? It seems he hates everything. He says he caucused for Obama in 2008, but hates him. Lastly, I really dislike the "Vintage" shows. Please stop!

Hope the cast had as much fun producing the "historical" CIO programs as I had wathcing them!
