Alaska Media Announces that AK likely to lose “significant” Federal Revenue
The same media conglomerates that repeatedly published false stories about me during the election are now reporting what we predicted throughout the campaign: “Alaska [is] likely to lose significant federal revenue in any budget deficit deal.” Take a look at what the notoriously biased Dispatch reported yesterday:
“Experts say Alaska may well feel the pinch more than other states because it depends so much on federal money. Not only will Alaskans face the same fate as other Americans when it comes to car loans and home mortgages, but they can also expect a huge drop in the flow of federal dollars that helps keep the state economically sound.”
Sound familiar? Or how about the earmark debate last fall. Again, the same media conglomerates lambasted our observation that, no matter who was elected, “earmarks are dead.” When, in fact, earmarks were killed shortly after the election, none of these so-called news outlets even skipped a beat in their reporting.
The ADN Ear reported earlier this month the possibility that the Dispatch was looking into the purchase of a number of Alaska newspapers. It couldn’t get much worse.
