Gara, ethics and the truth about soft money

This is just one more example of the horrible and blatant bias of both KTUU and the ADN. The way they cottle Gara, French, Begich, Berkowitz and Palin is really sad for our community. We know the likes of Matt Zency and John Tracy are not balanced in their editorials and coverage to the point of being willing to fudge the truth although most of their collective dishonesty is by ommision of any negative stories regarding their chosen ones. But what is really sad to me is the way our local conservatives and even Andrew seem intimidated to confront them. I understand we live in a small community and John Tracy is an intimidating force for anyone who hopes to work in the media or run for office but for heavens sakes if I hear one more introduction by the likes of Dan Fagan where he kisses John's rear end for 10 minutes before they even start I'll gag. Yes John Tracy and the Editors of the Daily News are powerful but can we get a little honesty somewhere ? These left leaning bullies have caused more damage to our great state than any earthquake or oil bust ever could. The ADN is failing and while KTUU has the highest production quality relative to the other local channels - their reporting stinks. It is bias and silly - those stupid,phony questions at the end of each report are like nails on the chalk board. Hey folks - Jason Moore ran Fran Ulmers dirty tricks democrat bid for governor where she got stomped like a grape then a couple days later he was sitting back in his KTUU news anchor chair spewing more of John Tracy's left wing brand of news. One of the first stories they did after the election was about Fran Ulmer and what a great person she was. Good Gravy can you get any more bias ? My whole point here is that our independant and Conservative voices need to stop cowtowing to these jokers and treating them with more respect than they have earned. Again the ADN editors and John Tracy have done horrible damage to this state and my childrens future.

This is especially interesting, since Rep. Gara voted for HB305 in February of this year. That bill, if signed by Gov. Palin, will make fund raising for a political party by a legislator during a session become illegal. You would think that Rep. Gara would want to live up to the spirit of that law, even though it is not yet law. Especially considering his vocal denunciation of even the appearance of impropriety. It is also interesting that the ADN has not reported on Gara's letter nor the State Superior Court's dismissal of Ben Stevens' APOC fine (the one where APOC first said he was innocent, and then six months later changed their minds). In the latter case, there wasn't even a mention of it in the three articles that listed Stevens as being investigated for corruption. I guess it isn't surprising, given Matt Zencey's diatribe the other day, but interesting nonetheless.

I'll be nice... let's just say, Les Gara is my current least favorite representative in the Alaskan legislature. His socialistic (and now what appears to be sanctimonious) agenda is not on par to develop Alaska's resources.
