    Opinion: Five thousand reasons to be skeptical (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    Alaskans should know better than residents of the other 49 states when a politician is trying to buy their votes, particularly when the promise is a big fat dividend landing in their pockets. I’d like to think Alaskans will be more skeptical than other voters of President Donald Trump’s Sept. 9 political speech at the Republican Party midterm convention in Dallas, when the promise-them-anything-but-never-deliver self-promoter in chief made the news with a trillion-dollar bribe. He thundered

    Opinion: Where one news model fades, another grows (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt
