Wmur is just straight up propaganda. It's your own fault for watching it.

Not to mention, just straight-out bad reporting.

"No one covers NH like we do." Yeah, cause everyone else literally does it better. I see NH news stories reported on NBC10 Boston/NECN sometimes DAYS before WMUR reports on it.

I watch it for the weather mostly.

WMUR just straight up click baits all their headlines and has no actual information in their stories. Like just the other day they were reporting on the construction sign in Manchester that someone hacked to put FJB on and they spent 5 minutes dancing around what happened as to not admit that people dislike the guy who can't remember what day it is pretending to be the president. I see a headline for a major crash or drug raid online and want to know more and 90% of the time their story is either one sentence or a paragraph of absolutely nothing substantial. They couldn't give people facts even if they had a gun to their head it's pathetic...

Seriously speaking I’ll take advice here. I usually prefer newspapers but I haven’t been impressed by the local offerings (I live in Nashua) so I do use the WMUR website (I don’t watch it). What’s do you think is good for local news? I’m willing to pay (assuming there’s a website or app, I’m not doing actual paper or tv it’s 2022 lol).

As I alluded to above, i prefer NBC10 Boston and their sister station NECN.

They cover all of New England pretty well (especially NECN) and don't have the oh-my-god-we're-all-gonna-die POV that WMUR and ABC in general seen to have.

I turn it on for the local weather and my husband for sports. Yeah, we could do all that online. Our own fault.

This. I long ago gave up on correct spelling, correct graphics or video for a particular story or Erin actually getting through “reporting” without clearing her throat ten times. The standards for this channel are nonexistent.

But, it’s from Manchester, NH, not LA, Chicago, Boston, etc. Small fish in a big pond so I don’t expect world class reporting.

How about ANY class! I do hear what you are saying, but come on, spelling? Can’t we at least make the effort there?
