Progressive Alaska began during the first week of November, 2007. From time to time, I've considered finding a category under which Andrew Halcro's important blog should be listed.After reading Andrew's important analysis of Todd Palin's statement for the Branchflower Investigation, I've come to the concluson that Halcro's blog should be listed at PA.
Also, I've been encouraged by a number of people to move Robert Dillon's site, An Alaskan Abroad, from the Progressive Alaska bloggers category to somewhere else. And, back during re-structuring in late April, 2008, I moved KUDO-AM from the Progressive Alaska media niche to the Mainstream Alaska media category, where it doesn't really fit.
I was about to move KUDO back to the progressive media category last week, when I was dropped from a call-in to Carrie Carrigan's show, after I uttered two words that can get you dropped at that station. No, it wasn't a string of four-letter words. It wasn't the word "fire!" in a crowded building. It was a name - "Shannyn Moore." My line went dead........
So, PA has a new category, folks: Important Alaskan Sites - Not Necessarily Progressive.
Back to Andrew Halcro. He's done important work, especially on the issues being addressed by the Branchflower Commission. And his AM Radio talk show has far more civility in it than any other non-progressive local AM radio call-in program.
