To rephrase WMUR's old slogan, "No one knows New Hampshire like we do!", let me offer a new slogan for WMUR, "No one screws up news reporting in New Hampshire like we do!"
They are the worst when it comes to reporting the news with frequent typos in the on-screen banners, mis-pronounced names of people AND places, incorrect locations on their map of NH when talking about a particular city/town; the list goes on and on!! |

But I actually have a better motto for our "if it bleeds it leads" station. No one scares New Hampshire like we do.... And their website? My gosh, what a convoluted confusing mess.... But I am wayyyyy off topic here and apologize for same! Sorry, my rant for the day....but if you are depending on WMUR for accurate and timely coverage on New Hampshire events, you definitely need to broaden your horizons! |

If you think they are bad try reading The Laconia Citizen! They have reported before that a one year old was arrested for driving after revocation of his license and in the same police log reported a 3 year old who was arrested for being drunk. We had a great time for a few weeks emailing the editor every day with every single error that we found. He was rather offended and asked what we had against him. We told him nothing against him, just shocked that the local paper was so poorly written and had so many grammatical and factual errors. Sorry for the quick hijack! Just had to point out the disaster that The Ictizen is. Maybe if enough of us point out errors to the editor he will hire a proof reader.

Baja, I had to laugh. You are so right. WMUR is not on the leading edge of news reporting. Skarupa is the only good thing they have going for it. I couldn't believe it when I watched the Maine news channel getting a guided tour of the tornado wreckage and the WMUR team kept saying they weren't allowed in. Plain embarrassing if you ask me.
Anyway....So who knows what is going on with this investigation? Has any criminal charges been filed. I haven't heard anything about it lately other than the doctor getting a merit citation. I'd like to get a copy of that guys accident scene statement, as to whether he thought alcohol was involved. I don't agree with the parking lot analogy myself. This woman was the president of a boating Association. She should have known better than to even take the lines off the dock. She should have known her speed was too great for the conditions. Period. She could just as easily called for a taxi. She has no excuse in my eyes at all. I'm also interested to see if this gets swept under the rug because of political ties, and community standings. |

The authorities know they are under a microscope on the one. Nothing is going to be "swept under the rug". Last edited by Bear Islander; 08-14-2008 at 08:51 AM. Reason: spelling |

Interesting how you ask IF alchohol was involved and how the investigation is going and then proceed to comdemn her without any official facts at all.
My question is, WHY HAS THERE BEEN NO OFFICIAL FACTS BROUGHT OUT?? I have refrained from commenting on the topic since it happened. A blood test had to have been taken, what? no information on it? If it was a car accident with the same results, you would know within days if alcohol was involved or not. As someone else mentioned, is it because who she is that information is not being let out? We all know that old adage " IT'S NOT WHAT YOU KNOW IT'S WHO YOU KNOW " . Most of us are saying to ourselves, Who is out on Winnie at that hour who hasn't been where alcohol was being served!!. 1+1=2. I do not know anyone that was involved so I am not trying to prosecute anyone here, but this hopefully will end soon, and we will know the TRUTH. IMHO if this was some POOR TEENAGER from laconia, we would already know and this thread would have gone away a long time ago. |
