Anyone Else See The Discrimination In This Headline: “Arizona County Had The Largest white, Black, Hispanic Growth”

July 3, 2022July 2, 2022 Skip

The Laconia Daily Sun uses wire services for content in their newspaper and that, in part, could explain the cut-and-paste demographic discrimination so rudely displayed. But local entities have the ability to edit what they want in these supplied articles.

Amazing how editors at The Laconia Daily Sun have been so selective about what conservative cartoons are printed while those of propagandist Mike Luckovich get printed routinely.

I have long held most Democrats in low regard. It is my firm belief that their ever-leftward dash to full-on communism will be the destruction of our nation, state, and local institutions.

Hoping Someone Can Spot the Differences between Biden, Trump

September 15, 2021 Rick Notkin

Now, lemme get this straight. You put de lime in the coconut… Oh sorry, wrong point. When then-Vice President Biden bragged in an interview that the Obama administration would withhold billions in aid unless the Ukrainian government fired a prosecutor who was investigating Burisma and Hunter Biden, that was cool.

Laconia Mayor Hosmer cavorting with the highly Progressive Kent Street Coalition? Non-Partisan, is he? Ha!

I found the Tuesday editorial here in the Daily Sun regarding the upcoming “series of special events designed to bring the community together” featuring, among others, Mayor Hosmer, to be quite rich.

This Was Not a Case of Sloppy Writing, It Was Carefully Crafted to Sow Fear.

July 10, 2021 Op-Ed

Project Veritas has recently exposed CNN for using fear to attract viewers. It is a shameful technique used widely in media and politics. Your local ‘news’ paper [Laconia Daily Sun] uses it more than you may realize.

April 2, 2021April 2, 2021 Skip

Letter to the Laconia Daily Sun – Do You Do Actual Journalism?

December 14, 2020December 14, 2020 Rick Notkin

Wow. The Sun is really hitting them out of the park. Or not. The piece on food insecurity (12/1) relates the increased use of food pantries and the influx of groceries to try to meet those needs.

Blackmail, treachery, and Quid Pro Quo by the Democrats

January 8, 2020 Steve Earle

I see that my local paper, the Laconia Daily Sun, is still printing those stupid hate Trump cartoons. This time Santa’s bringing down Trump.
