The Union Leader lost its way after Bill Loeb died.
And after Bill’s wife Nancy died, the Union Leader went off the rails.
The Union Leader is like Fox News lite, these days.
NH used to be truly conservative and the Leader accurately reflected that. Little by little tho it was corrupted by the creeping stupid taking this country and liberals moving in from other states. Relatively speaking though its the only NE state not circling the drain and in the bigger picture a good place to live and raise a family. There’s lots to like including the cold, snowy winters.
So I guess it’s the “Union Leader” now, not the “Manchester Union Leader” - is this because the purport to be a state newspaper? What I’ve seen confirms your assessment.
