WMUR’s Safe Haven Law Coverage Abandons Some Facts

April 3, 2025 Steve MacDonald

Yesterday, WMUR News 9, our local ABC affiliate and the only network channel in the state of New Hampshire, did a follow-up story on the body of a dead infant found in a pond in Manchester. The focus was the state’s haven law, which is meant to prevent abandonment, but it got a few facts … Read more

PowerSchool Breach, Senator Hassan, and WMUR: Who’s Looking Out for Students?

March 21, 2025 Ann Marie Banfield

Several years ago, student privacy legislation was introduced in the New Hampshire Senate. I was the only person in the room supporting privacy protections for New Hampshire students. Ed Tech lobbyists were there to protect their profit stream. I was warned that the Ed Tech vendors would send their lobbyists to fight for their interests, … Read more

Will The Media Attempt To Reestablish Some Credibility?

January 19, 2025 Skip

One in four Americans claim they trust the media, But only one in 14 have confidence in the news they’re being fed. Our local ABC outlet is probably in decent shape (sorta), thanks to the democrat fanbase. but amongst Conservative watchers in New Hampshire, it seems to be commonly accepted that, In the 20 years … Read more

What Happened To ABC’s ‘Layers’ of “Fact-Checkers”?

January 15, 2025 Skip

Who let this go through on something as basic as the US Constitution? “Can birthright citizenship be repealed? Breaking down Trump’s proposal.”It looks like another anti-Trump dig, poke, and scree. How dare you make these little children “stateless,” never mentioning their mothers for putting them in such legal jeopardy. And so much for “objective” reporting. … Read more

Why is WMUR Ignoring Scott Wallace?

October 25, 2024 Julie Smith

I ran into Adam Sexton not long after House HHS Vice Chair Erica Layon’s DUI arrest and gave him crap. I said something like “shame on you, Adam Sexton, you’ve stooped to the level of trashy tabloids,” to which he pointed out that he/his employer covers ALL arrests of legislators. He went on to mention … Read more

Shame On Arielle Mitropoulos

October 19, 2024 Julie Smith

Mr. Rabideau, my middle school photography teacher, often preached “halves and doubles” in lecturing about tweaking the F-stop and shutter speed. The institution of substitution was what his lesson was about. Take a different example from the grocery store junk food aisle. When some Sunshine or Nabisco product introduces a new version labeled as “reduced … Read more

Shame On Marissa Tansino

October 19, 2024October 19, 2024 Julie Smith

WMUR is, once again, doing what they do as the propaganda machine. I already shamed Adam Sexton last month for playing Chris Wallace for Vikram, and now is a good moment to remind the readers that he is “on notice” as the Lily Tang Williams vs. Maggie Goodlander debate awaits us on October 31. However, … Read more

WMUR Asks Dems Running for Governor in NH at Least One Good Question

September 6, 2024 Steve MacDonald

I don’t have their responses (yet), but the fact that WMUR even asked this question is (something of) a surprise. Chris later shared a video of the question being asked. pic.twitter.com/ilijmtdzXH — Chris Maidment (@ChrisMaidmentNH) September 5, 2024 Based on the downstream comments, they didn’t answer the question, which is the only safe response. As … Read more

Night Cap: Nobody Covers ARIZONA … Like WMUR Covers ARIZONA

April 21, 2024 Ed Mosca

So a couple of days ago I got trapped in front of a television and had to endure the supposedly local “news” on WMUR. There was a relatively long segment on ARIZONA … more specifically, a court decision in Arizona that restored an old law that bans most abortions and the Arizona legislature addressing that … Read more

“News” Nine Is NOT News … WMUR Is A Mouthpiece For The New Hampshire Democrat Party

April 2, 2024 Ed Mosca

Do you know the old saying that he who defines the terms of the debate wins the debate? Apparently, the NHGOP does not. The NHGOP continues to treat WMUR and its “political director” like journalists when it is undisputable that WMUR is simply an arm of the New Hampshire Democrat Party and Adam Sexton is an imposter.

Adam Sexton … Mouthpiece For The New Hampshire Democrat Party

April 1, 2024 Ed Mosca

Adam Sexton wants you to believe that people voting WITHOUT ID is not a problem in New Hampshire. More specifically, some NHGOP have been pushing back against the absurd notion that “the right to vote” means the right to vote without showing valid identification … so here comes Adam to rescue the Woke-Communists (oh, so … Read more

Some Thoughts on the Recent Arrest of Sheriff Brave

May 21, 2025August 19, 2023 Julie Smith

“The decision to charge an elected constitutional officer is not one that is made lightly,” said Formella into the WMUR mic. I certainly don’t remember our attorney general publicly weighing in on last spring’s arrest of Senator Murphy, another elected official. “In this state(NH), there will be equal justice under the law for every person, … Read more

Part 2: To Our ‘Grok Friends in the NH Legislature – Do You Know What Your DCYF Is Doing? Or Rather, NOT Doing?

June 1, 2023 Skip

OK, Part 1 is almost standard fare – a government agency (municipality, school district, water district, regional planning commission) decides that they don’t have to answer to Citizens – that we exist for their benefit and aims and it sucks to be us when we keep trying to remind them that the original intent was … Read more

Breaking – WMUR, Showing Democrat Bias by Having Democrat Jennifer Horn “Give” a Republican Rebuttal to Yesterday’s Politically Motivated Trump Indictment

April 2, 2023March 31, 2023 Skip

It’s rather clear to Conservatives and Libertarians here in NH that the only TV station in the State is far from “fair and balanced,” and I’ve been reporting on that for years. This was pretty bad, even for them.

More Election Rigging By Adam Sexton … Censorship Of Hassan’s Policies Decimating Retirement Savings

October 18, 2022 Ed Mosca

Do you know why Maggie Hassan doesn’t have to campaign and do more than a handful of debates? Because she has Adam Sexton and the rest of New Hampshire’s regime media to campaign for her.

NHGOP Candidates Should Do What JD Vance Did When WMUR Rigs The Debate

October 11, 2022 Ed Mosca

If I had my druthers the NHGOP candidates would boycott the WMUR “debates” because these “debates” are rigged to help the Democrats. Assuming they don’t, they need to be prepared when Adam Sexton and the other Democrat-activists masquerading as moderators try to distract from the devastation caused by the policies that New Hampshire’s incumbent Democrats … Read more

WMUR Rigging The CD-1 Election

October 10, 2022 Ed Mosca

Mid-term elections are supposed to be referendums on the party in power … in this case, the Democrat Party. Given that the policies of the Democrat Party have hurt most Americans … out-of-control crime, open-borders (fentanyl), war on domestic fossil fuel production, out-of-control federal spending (inflation) … that is very bad for incumbent Democrats like … Read more

Chris Pappas screen grab campaign ad 2022

Chris Pappas Admits Entire Campaign Based on a LIE … “Press” Just Ignores

October 2, 2022 Ed Mosca

Hat-tip to NH-NeverTrumpJournal. So Chris Pappas has admitted that his claim that Karoline Leavitt supports a national abortion ban … which is the basis of his entire campaign … is baseless. Not surprisingly, no coverage from New Hampshire’s disinformation-duo, Adam Sexton and Josh Rogers. Sexton can find the time to cover Hassan’s crazy claim that … Read more

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.

WMUR’s Adam Sexton Is A Threat To Our Democracy

September 28, 2022 Ed Mosca

So, I previously posted about how NHPR’s Josh Rogers Is A Threat To Our Democracy. Adam Sexton is also busy rigging the election. Social Security and Medicare are NOT among the issues voters are prioritizing this election. Even according to the FakeNews Washington Post:
