Alaskan Bush People: Why Bear Feels ‘Journalism’ Is Dead

screenrant.com:

Bear Brown from Alaskan Bush People is less than impressed with a recent news story that bashed the Wolf Pack. The father of two has always stood up for his beliefs, especially when he feels that he has been wronged. Now, Bear is lashing out at people that his family used to be close to when they lived in the bush.

The Browns (Ami, the late Billy, Matt, Bam, Noah, Gabe, Bear, Bird, and Rain), originally lived out in the wilds of Alaska. After thirty years of living off the land, the family was forced to vacate their land due to Ami's cancer battle. They moved to the West Coast. The family members all relocated to the Pacific Northwest (Washington State), where they built a new «Browntown.» The Discovery Channel show documents the family and its goal of not becoming like other American families. The Browns have chosen to remove themselves from the culture that they believe is hindering their growth, to the point where they can go six months without coming into contact with an outsider. The family members even have a unique accent and dialect, thanks to the years they have spent isolated from other human beings.

Last weekend, Bear took to his Instagram to defend himself (and the entire Wolf Pack) from haters. It appears that some local Alaskans don't appreciate what the Browns are trying to do with their show, and are not welcoming them back with open arms. A local named Mark Hofstad recently spoke with Alaska Public Media, after some of the Browns took a trip back to the Southeast Coast earlier this month, and stopped in Petersburg. Bear wrote that he was «ashamed» to call people like Mark Alaskans, and felt that real journalism was «dead.»
