I really don't see that the ADN "obviously supports taking the Fund for government." News organizations in general need to go back to reporting the news-instead of spin from whatever source-making clear distinctions between opinion pieces & factual, vetted reporting. In order to be able to that, however, public demand needs to be there. What we have now is the news equivalent of scripted "reality" show TV, a type of sensationalist presentation of whatever sexy story has caught-or is likely to catch-the public eye, because that is where the demand is. And that is a tribute to the proudly ignorant: Those who disdain "elitist education" in favor of mindless entertainment. I also enjoy being entertained. For me that includes being a well-informed, independent thinker, honed by the education I got both in & out of the classroom. I grew up poor, worked hard & sacrificed every step of the way to attain it. It has made me a stronger, better person. If that makes me an elitist, so be it.
