One Response to “Anchorage Edition: June 20”

Bob Tkacz on June 29, 2008 at 1:26 pm

I am amazed at the rightwing bias that is a base part of “Alaska Edition.” Today’s (June 29) program was the most blatant.

Paul Jenkins, who is probably the most regular guest has been nothing more than a propagandist for the oil industry since he worked for Bill Allen’s Anchorage Times. A review of every position he takes on any issue proves this without question.

Tim Bradner acknowledges facts moreso than Jenkins, but also filters them all through his oil industry background.

The idea that this program gives Alaskans a balanced view of state issues is a joke. Mike Carey should be ashamed.
