ABC is airing a fictional TV series, Thursday evenings, called ‘Alaska Daily,’ based on our extreme leftist and woke newspaper, the ‘Anchorage Daily News. ADN President Ryan Binkley and staff reporter Kyle Hopkins are executive producers.
Besides trying to show how virtuous our horribly deceptive Anchorage Daily News is, they’re trying to demonize Anchorage police and Anchorage citizens as being racist.
I watched the pilot episode online, which can be watched for free. Lead actress Hillary Swank is in Anchorage during much of this first episode; though, I read only one episode was filmed in Anchorage. Even in this pilot, many of the indoor scenes are likely filmed in British Columbia, Canada, where most of the series is filmed.

ADN helps launch fictional TV show to rehabilitate image of mainstream reporters

In a year when trust in mainstream media is at an all-time low, especially among conservatives and independents, the largest newspaper in Alaska has been working for months to help launch a new fictional TV series that aims to paint its reporters in a glowing light.
Like many left-leaning mainstream newspapers, the Anchorage Daily News has been losing reporters, advertising revenue and print subscribers for years. They’ve also been widely criticized in conservative circles for pushing unacknowledged leftist ideology and political bias in so-called “hard” news coverage.
The creators and producers of “Alaska Daily” hope the new show, which debuted on Oct. 6, will enhance public opinion and overall respect for reporters like those employed at ADN.
An Oct. 1 Anchorage Daily News article touting the show notes that it “focuses on a fictional newspaper in Anchorage that bears a resemblance to the newspaper and news site you’re currently reading.” The show’s creators spoke to ADN staff, built a newsroom based off ADN’s and even studied what reporters wore to create stereotypical archetypes of ADN reporters.
ADN President Ryan Binkley and staff reporter Kyle Hopkins are executive producers of the show, which features actress Hilary Swank as the lead character.
