Small minded Alaska at its best. Newspapers like the Alaska Dispatch news, with a daily circulation of about 50K+, have “associations” with the New York Times (with a daily circulation of two million +) and Washington Post because they have reporters and resources in areas of the U.S. and the World that ADN does not have. They provide a service similar to the Associated Press, Reuters and that’s it..No liberal conspiracy at all. People who “love” America and Alaska and love to wrap themselves up in the flag like Richard Rhyner actually forget that we live in a free country; if you don’t like ADN just read Mein Kampf while zoning out in front of Faux News and you’ll find that warm fuzzy feeling you’re chasing after.
