Union Leader Sets Record Straight on Shea-Porter Event

by: Dean Barker

This is excellent, because the Union Leader has a much better chance of getting picked up by national traditional media than BH or Media Matters:
At that same event, a protester was escorted out by two police officers. Video was posted on the Internet. Some on the right saw the video and proclaimed that Shea-Porter kicked a protester out of her event. She didn't. The officer did. What you won't see on the video is the protester disrupting the meeting after the police told him that such behavior would not be tolerated.
Many thanks to the Union Leader for taking the time to set this story straight.

The Clock Factor (4.00 / 2)
Good for The Union Leader.  Sometimes they do get it right, and some of the reporters there who I know have high journalistic standards.  

Without getting too complimentary, however, let's remember that even a clock is right twice a day.  


Note to self: (4.00 / 4)
We are obliged to correct any negative misinformation about NH Republicans and conservatives for our own audience.

My 'druthers is not to spread information about Republicans (0.00 / 0)
in the first place.  Gossiping about personalities is easy and it makes politicians look like they have access to important people and inside information.  But, it really doesn't advance the progressive agenda.

[ Parent ]
There is always an element of truth behind every (0.00 / 0)
Republican lie.  The "best defense is a good offense"--i.e. it works for them to be offensive.

In case you're distracted by the color, the lady in pink is blind.
