Thank you for acknowledging your business mistakes.  Thank you for apologizing to vendors and contractors.  But it looks like you are trying to pass the blame of the ADN being extremely left-leaning, which certainly hurt ADN's business with Alaskans, onto your employees.  I believe that is called - throwing people, like your editors, under the bus.  Did you not read your ADN every day?  Apparently not if you claim "old-school newspaper values".  Not the case.  And BTW, the use of "Civil Comments" decision was also proof that ADN valued their your agenda more than the voice of Alaskans.
