I’m not even sure its allowed on DU but I don’t believe in alerting.

Alpha News The launch of Alpha News was first promoted today by the Minnesota Tea Party Alliance on Facebook. Many of the initial news stories from Alpha News cover issues which have been advocated by the Minnesota Tea Party Alliance.

While Watchdog.org and The UpTake get money from partisan donors, the money trail behind five-month-old Alpha News is much more difficult to track.

Its website says nothing about its donors or editorial process, but does carry ads and asks readers to donate. One thing is certain: Alpha News has ties to a prominent Republican donor and the political group he founded years ago.

Business filings show that Alex Kharam incorporated Alpha News. Kharam also works as executive director for the Minnesota Freedom Club, a political group that supports conservative candidates and was founded by and largely bankrolled by Republican donor Robert Cummins.

If you want to read about the actual DUI and the subsequent dismissal of charges you can find it I think locally but you may have to sign up to the newspapers site. It wasnt really a big deal during the governors race when so there isn’t much online other than the right wing media which tried to use it during the Gov race.

But anyway even if you can’t relate - the fact is the charges were dropped and Walz stopped drinking. I think the Democratic ticket could survive that.
