Let me try to dissect this rambling and disjointed diatribe against conservative fiscal policies. Whatever the writer chooses to call Alaska’s current financial condition is irrelevant, in reality we’re in deep trouble. Soon after the discovery of oil our government went on a spending spree growing itself in size exponentially and making decisions guaranteed to bankrupt the State in the not too distant future. If there’s anyone to blame for our current budgetary crisis then you need look no further than Deb Haaland and the Biden administration for shutting down Alaska’s largest source of potential income.
Equating the desire of a modern Republican governor trying to stave off insolvency to the slave states, run by the Democrat party in the 1860s is ludicrous. This is nothing more than race baiting and fear mongering of the highest order and a shameless attempt to link these two together in the mind of the reader.
In today’s world of the Internet and satellite streaming services, media of all types have to adapt in order to survive and public broadcasting faces those same challenges. Independent podcasters routinely outperform our largest network news stations as Americans seek to broaden their horizons and move away from the liberal-dominated media outlets. Evolution was not kind to the dodo and the same rules apply to a idea spawned in the late 60s when an AM radio was still standard equipment in a new car.
