This is funny as all get out! Earlier this First In The Nation Primary season, the Democrat National Committee kicked WMUR to the curb over the inability of the Hearst Corporation (owners of WMUR) to come to terms with their unions. UL, batter up? Nope – yer OUTTA there!
ABC dumps Union Leader; Trump claims credit
MANCHESTER — Donald Trump immediately took credit for getting the New Hampshire Union Leader dropped from an upcoming Republican debate being produced in partnership with ABC News, drawing condemnation from the paper’s publisher. “I am pleased to announce that I had the Union Leader removed from the upcoming debate,” Trump tweeted Sunday afternoon, minutes after the newspaper was told by an ABC News executive they were going to “split ways.”
The debate, scheduled for Feb. 6 from the campus of St. Anselm College, is the only time Republicans will meet head-to-head in the Granite State.
ABC News’ decision to drop the Union Leader from the Republican debate follows a similar incident before their Democratic debate last month. WMUR-TV was not allowed to participate after the Democratic National Committee had them removed due to an ongoing labor dispute with fewer than a dozen members of a union at the station based in Manchester.
In a statement, Union Leader Publisher Joseph W. McQuaid blasted ABC’s decision.
Yeah, follow the below link to see what McQuaid said. This ought to be amusing during the debate to see what Trump will say.
