Two Over-Reactions

KSKA and KAKM's Duncan Moon has some explaining to do. A lot. He's offered a tentative remedy to the ham-fisted handling of the Dick Traini dilemma in an article that might appear in tomorrow's print edition of the Anchorage Daily News:

Moon said turning Traini away was his decision and he stands by it. But now following the Supreme Court ruling, he's offered to give Traini time on the air to talk about his candidacy - possibly on Monday, the day before the election.

"He's now a candidate, he deserves equal time," Moon said.

Uh, Duncan, your decision Wednesday - if, indeed it actually was yours - ranks among the most rank in recent Alaska media history.


Another rank decision has been that by the Central Committee of the Alaska Democratic Party to remove references to the only Democratic Party candidate for the U.S. Senate, Ray Metcalfe, from the Party's web site because he raised honest questions about ex-governor Tony Knowles' relationship to big oil when he was in his last elected office. I'll be writing about this story through the rest of the week.

Update - Saturday: Friday early afternoon, the State Democratic Party web site placed Ray Metcalfe's campaign web site up at the Party's candidate niche. It now lists Mark Begich, Ray Metcalfe and Frank Vondersaar.
