Remember David Sirota? Denver’s unapologetically left-of-left columnist, former radio talker, activist and all-round rabble rouser? (And whose wife, Emily Sirota, unsuccessfully ran in a high-profile race for a southeast Denver seat on the Denver Public Schools board in 2011.)

Evidently, Sirota is still domiciled in Denver even if his day job, as senior investigations editor for the New York-based International Business Times, has taken him onward to bigger and better things. And things are about to get bigger and better still for him: As we learned from Denverite this morning, Sirota is going to take the reins of a new left-of-center national news organization that is the brainchild of liberal Washington fund-raiser, journalist and activist David Brock. True Blue aims to be a powerhouse influential enough to offset the controversial right-wing Breitbart organization that is said to inform much of Team Trump’s agenda.

Denverite’s Andrew Kenney reports:

Brock earlier said he was raising money to fund the “Breitbart of the left,” but more recently referred to the new project as the “answer to Breitbart,” BuzzFeed reported.

…Sirota investigated and wrote stories critical of Hillary Clinton’s campaign for the International Business Times, while Brock and his media outlets were far more supportive of the Democratic candidate. Both have pressed hard on President-elect Donald Trump.

Sirota seems provocative enough to give the pot-stirring Breitbart a run for the money. As recounted in his Wikipedia entry: “Sirota was criticized by Mark Steyn, Bill O’Reilly, Greg Gutfeld and Robert Spencer in the wake of the Boston Marathon bombings for an article he wrote for Salon titled, ‘Let’s Hope the Boston Marathon Bomber Is a White American.’ “
