Just saw a billboard for Alpha News.org in my neighborhood

I live in the Kingfield Neighborhood in south Minneapolis. I checked them out and they are a reichwing site. Anyone else seeing their billboards?

It's a pretty unremarkable billboard in of itself geardaddy Apr 2025 #8

I'm surprised it hasn't been hit with graffiti sboatcar Apr 2025 #4

It's fairly recent, so give it time. :) geardaddy Apr 2025 #6

Those billboards are pretty high up. You'd need a good pitching arm, Ocelot II Apr 2025 #7

I live in Kingfield also. Is it one of the billboards on the corner of Nicollet and 46th? I looked up Alpha News - pretty sketchy outfit. I found this:

[Staff] Liz Collin is a reporter for Alpha News and has won multiple Emmy Awards. She was also a former anchor and reporter at WCCO-TV in Minneapolis. Her marriage to former Minneapolis police union president Bob Kroll prompted the station to remove her from police related stories to avoid a perceived conflict of interest. 3 3 Collins has been a public speaker and media producer. She is the author of, “They’re Lying: The Media, The Left, and The Death of George Floyd.” She produced the documentary, “The Fall of Minneapolis” which was available to audiences in November 2023.

And:

Alpha News previously reported on the divorce file of Ellison, going to court to unseal the records—arguing it was a matter of public interest during the 2018 campaign for attorney general.

It's on top of the buildings across from Sebastian Joe's. You'll see it if your travelling north on Nicollet just before you pass the Lowbrau restaurant

I guess billboards don't register much with me! The Lowbrow has great hamburgers, by the way.

It just has some blonde anchor-type lady and the words "AlphaNews.org" It just struck me as suspiciously right-wing. And turns out I was right!

If I were the tagging type, that would be a prime target. Change it to 'beta news' and then take pics and tag alpha news on socical media. Sure, its childish, but it would have the desired effect.
