NH Journalism as Party Stenography, Vol. 345889

by: Dean Barker

Sun Nov 14, 2010 at 13:17:09 PM EST


NHGOP Spox Ryan Williams, in the UL:
Williams gleefully pointed out that photos of the people Bass and Guinta replace, U.S. Reps. Carol Shea-Porter and Paul Hodes, have already been scrubbed from the Democratic Party website, which still features President Obama, Lynch and U.S. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen.
Kevin Landrigan:
State Democrats aren't waiting for official terms to end to assume their minority role.

The party's website got scrubbed last week, with reference to "N.H.'s majority party'' deleted and the smiling faces of still-sitting Congressmen Hodes and Carol Shea-Porter removed from their top right billing on the home page.

To be fair, it's impossible to tell whether Landrigan expressed the same glee when he stenographed Williams' talking point on this non-story. Or did he find it first and tell Williams?  Or am I expected to be dumb enough to believe that it just happened to show up on two of the Sunday political columns independently?

It's the laziness that bugs me more than the various allegations of bias.

(h/t on the latter, Jonny B.)

Broader media observation: (4.00 / 1)
Voters who hoped that by electing Republicans they would finally get the Sunday talk shows to stop inviting failed Presidential candidate John McCain every two weeks as a monotonous balance: you lose.

Now he's just as obnoxiously present, only a bit cockier.


This is unblievable: (0.00 / 0)
Face the Nation has Rand Paul and Chuck Schumer

This Week has Lindsey Graham, Kent Conrad, Madeline Albright, and some asshole CEO from the catfood commission.

Meet the Press has Axelrod, McCain, Saint Greenspan, and Newt Gingrich.

Please kill me. Then document the atrocities!

Nothing brings out the Village set like Sunday political TeeVee.

(whether in DC or NH) the GOP is the default party.
