You must be fresh off the boat . I had dozens of letters to the editor published in the Daily News back then . Even more than in the Anchorage Times.    More recently, a  year or so back---six people were shot in one incident in downtown Anchorage . A record for one shooting in Anchorage . Front page news for sure . The Dispatch put that story back in the B section. What story did they feel merited the front page ?  The Palin party fist fight where no one got shot or sent to the hospital.  That's agenda news placement---not real news reporting. Real Pulitzer quality !
