Debate over Doogan-Mudflats dust-up continues

The Doogan/Mudflats/anonymous blogging debate just won't end. Krestia DeGeorge, editor of the Anchorage Press, is the latest writer to take a stab at this dust-up still sweeping Alaskan blogs. His well-thought out column in this week's Press explores blogging, death threats to journalists, and the overall debate of whether somebody should sign their name to their blog.
Just as interesting are the comments his column has prompted. A long post by an anonymous writer (broken up into six parts) apparently sheds new light on the blogger behind Mudflats. Here's what the writer alleges: "According to APOC filings, Mudflats' husband, Ron Devon, is listed as the campaign treasurer of (political action committee) Alaskans For Truth ... Alaskans For Truth has had an anonymous propaganda machine/donating arm in the form of Ron Devon's wife, Mudflats ... So much for transparency. " (Read Krestia's story and the comments at the Anchorage Press.) Ironically, Rep. Mike Doogan, who outed Mudflats last week, got crosswise with the blogger over Alaskans For Truth. Here's a link to the Doogan/Mudflats clash that erupted in December and prompted Doogan to look at who was behind Mudflats. |
