UL Op-Ed Author Hates on The ‘Grok

November 20, 2024November 20, 2024 Steve MacDonald

Who the heck is Karishma Manzur? I’d never heard of her until the Union Leader published an op-ed titled ‘Let’s Stop the Rise of Granite State Hate.’ In it, she lists a handful of local groups flagged on the Southern Poverty Law Center hate map, but she doesn’t have time to research them. She lumps … Read more

Bill Shaheen’s Hyperbolic Fearmongering

August 29, 2025June 19, 2024 Op-Ed

The last time I looked at myself in the mirror, I did not see a rabid, clueless, insane, brainless Trump worshipper, as the sheeple of Biden’s flock love to call me – and call 81 million other supporters of Donald Trump. I see a sensible, rational, independent thinker who possesses self-directed reasoning. I can judge … Read more

Kevin Landrigan … A “Reporter” Who Speaks The Language Of The Left

June 7, 2024 Ed Mosca

Kevin Landrigan … a “reporter” who works for the “conservative” Union Leader and who speaks the language of the Left. Males (biological males for you bitter-clingers when you prefer redundancy) playing girls’ sports are “reported” as “trans girls.” That is NOT reporting that is advocating:

The Union Leader Wouldn’t Publish My Op-Ed, So Here It Is!

January 10, 2024 Op-Ed

For my friends in New Hampshire, you all recognize the New Hampshire Union Leader as a demagogue in the Left-leaning (fake news) media, supposedly representing all NH readers and voters. To my friends around the country and the world, the NH Union Leader used to be a respectable, somewhat conservative-leaning newspaper that wasn’t afraid to publish opposing Liberal views.

Union Leader Names Chris Sununu NH Citizen of The Year – We Respectfully Disagree

January 3, 2024January 1, 2024 Steve MacDonald

New Hampshire’s Largest paper, our paper of record, may not have had a lot of choices for a citizen of the year, or there may have been hundreds. But rather than pick a citizen, it picked a politician. Chris Sununu.

And Still They’re Lying About The COVID “Vaccine”

June 1, 2023 Ed Mosca

Kathleen Sullivan … Union Leader columnist and Communist (oh! I’m so sorry! I mean “Democrat”) operative … wants RFK, Jr. censored/banned/deleted and one of the reasons the Union Leader columnist gives is that he is a COVID “vax-denier”: Of course … as anyone who chooses to actually think, to inform themselves … knows, the COVID … Read more

Local Paper That Still Hasn’t Published the Truth About COVID Vaccines Wins a Pile of “Journalism” Awards

May 12, 2023 Steve MacDonald

Corporate media has long since abandoned its role as fourth estate watchdogs digging up bones to expose the truth or inform and protect the public. But they like to give each other awards to further their self-delusion.

Union Leader Doesn’t See The Big Picture – It’s Not About Vaccines, It’s About the Constitutional Separation Powers

March 28, 2023 Skip

Once again, we can see that the shiny and bright conservative armor that the Union Leader wore in decades past has turned rusty and tarnished. Never would I have expected to read a UL written Op-Ed actively advocating against the separation of responsibilities and Powers between the Legislative Branch and the Executive Branch, A quick … Read more

Our Fourth Estate Smolders in the Shadow of its Former Self

November 12, 2024November 7, 2022 Jim Betti

After years of misleading the country about Trump’s Russian collusion, the media cabal, especially America’s formerly great newspaper editorial boards, systematically suppressed and censored the Hunter Biden laptop story.

Since WMUR and the UL Seem to Have Missed This: CDC Drops Universal Masking Mandate for Health Care Workers

September 29, 2022 Steve MacDonald

Your local experience may vary on this point. My Eye Doc, for example, is still high on masking, but the CDC has announced that it no longer recommends universal masking of Health Care Workers.

And Yet Another Reason For NOT Supporting Chuck Morse … Endorsed By The Biden-Endorsing Union Leader

August 22, 2022 Ed Mosca

You knew it was coming. The NeverTrump Union Leader has endorsed Chuck Morse, calling him the best candidate to defeat Maggie Hassan. Yes, you read that correctly “Stinky” Joe McQuaid wants you to believe that Morse, who is by far the most inarticulate, inauthentic and uncharismatic candidate seeking the GOP nomination, is the best choice to defeat Maggie Hassan:

The Utter Trash That Passes For Journalism In The 603

August 7, 2022 Ed Mosca

NH-NeverTrump Journal recently held a debate for the candidates in the CD-1 GOP primary. Of course, given that the debate was hosted by Ultra-NeverTrump Michael Graham, one of the questions was intended to get the candidates to delegitimize the thoroughly legitimate position … Zuckerbucks, censorship of the Hunter Biden laptop, illegal changes to state election … Read more

“4x Vaccinated” Fauci Got Covid (Again), Took Paxlovid …And COVID Came Back, Worse!

June 30, 2022 Steve MacDonald

Just like the so-called “vaccine,” GraniteGrok has been ahead of the NH media with honest reporting about Paxlovid, another expensive EUA drug from Pfizer that doesn’t work on COVID. It doesn’t clear the virus, and (irony alert) Tony Fauci is one of its latest victims.

Quick Thought – Far Be It for Me to Agree with Kathy Sullivan, But!

April 12, 2022April 12, 2022 Skip

Kathy Sullivan was the NH Democrat Party Chair and long-term mucky-muck within the Democrat National Committee apparatchik. She also has had a columnist slot at the Union Leader for quite some time.

Intellectual Dishonesty – Hey, Union Leader, You Can’t Have it Both Ways!

January 18, 2022 Skip

Yoda: Intellectually dishonest, they are. SHOT: Against “bounties” for illegal activities by Teachers

Ann Kuster - Defend Abortion Rights Rally

January, 6th – Ann Kuster’s Left-Wing Panic Porn

January 6, 2022 Steve MacDonald

I have not read it but the Union Leader has an article today about the events of January 6 2021. In it, Dem NH House Rep Ann Kuster ponders what might have happened had “they” caught up with her.

Quick Thought – Stupid UL Editorial Sounds like Lloyd at Treehugger

November 30, 2021 Skip

This stupid UL editorial sounds like Lloyd and most of the denizens at Treehugger. Autumn, leaves, removal – leafblowers, ranting about leafblowers.

Media Challenge – Stop Fearmongering COVID and Try Some Balanced “Reporting”

August 23, 2021 Steve MacDonald

If balanced “reporting” were an objective goal, the New Hampshire media would share more of the same stories we publish on our pages. Doctors, epidemiologists, and medical professionals are concerned about the approved narratives and treatments and the absence of viable alternatives.

Correcting The Legacy Media’s Crappy Coverage of the “Windham Election Incident” Selectboard Meeting

March 7, 2021March 5, 2021 Op-Ed

“Those new machines are known as the “ImageCast Precinct” optical scan tabulators. They are manufactured by Dominion Voting Systems.”

Two of the largest news media outlets in New Hampshire could only manage shoddy, half-baked, propaganda-style reporting of the Windham Board of Selectmen meeting held on March 1^st to quell the concerns of Windham voters following a partial recount of three down-ballot contests.

No, Union Leader Editorial Writer, It Is the Point. Entirely.

January 19, 2021January 19, 2021 Skip

Back on Jan 3 (it seems SO long ago!), the Union Leader has an editorial titled “Wrong place to protest: Sununu’s home should be off-base.” They were kvetching that ordinary citizens shouldn’t be protesting NH Gov Chris Sununu’s Emergency Orders at his home.
