Well, like everyone else, the newspapers get a monthly electric, heating & property tax bill, and the money has to come from somewhere.
Basically, every newspaper is biased and it's been that way forever. It's called reading between the lines, or something. As Lord Ashton (England 1887) said in another thread, "All power corrupts, and all power currupts absolutely!"
Meredith is fortunate to have three local papers, the Meredith News, the Laconia Daily Sun, and the Laconia Citizen. Local newspapers coexisting in the same market is a good thing for their readers and advertisers. Just look what's happened to fm radio, nation-wide. And to think that New Hampshire public radio used to be almost all classical music. If any one media can be held responsible for NH's turning from red to blue, it's got to be Radio NHPR and Garrison Keillor's 'Prairie Home Companion.'

Today's
www.cmonitor.com features 'Evenstar - Arwen' in a long article. She has contributed a lot of compelling, long distance, kayak posts which are probably news to many of the boaters that read this forum.. Like, If New Hampshire just had the Union Leader we'd all be thinking, just scream 'live free or die' and that's the answer for everything.....good grief.
