NH Union Leader drops ad by llepard

Oh lord, this is a private dispute between llepard and the Union Leader. Please don't involve yourself directly or make threats on his or the grassroots behalf. That is totally counterproductive.
WTF is up with new people on this forum and running around making threats on behalf of the grassroots? That's totally irresponsible.
I agree. Some people here need to be reminded that this is Lepard's fight and money. Keep your big mouths and your knee-jerk comments out of it. All you are doing is making it harder for him to get a satisfactory (as defined by HIM, not us...) resolution, and making our candidate look bad. Stay out of this!

I'd like to remind everyone here that the media serves at the pleasure of the public. Just check the CFR. Any citizen has a right to make a negative or positive comment on the medias actions regarding this or any other issue.

IMHO just like the "Glen Beck" incident; a strong overwhelming message must be sent that WE will not tolerate poor performance on their behave. Lack of professionalism on their part will not be tolerated and assures shift and overwhelming punishment.

Sure, but it's not right to start negotiating on behalf of Mr. Leppard via letters indicating boycotts or threats. It totally undermines his negotiating position.

Keep your eyes on the prize. We are trying to win an election, not reform the media. Both are noble goals, but the stakes are too high to get hung up on punishment or theatrics.
 
Push for it to run TWICE!

Here is the reason it should run NEXT SUNDAY, as well: the ENTIRE state reads the SUNDAY edition of the Manchester Union Leader, because MOST of the other papers in the state do NOT have a Sunday edition. On Monday, however; those 'extra' readers go back to their regular papers. TENS of THOUSANDS of NH readers who WOULD have seen the ad in the Sunday Union Leader will NOT see it in the Monday/weekday editions, because they are reading their own local papers. Simple as that.

The real story, I suspect, has yet to be told.

I am willing to bet the farm this was no "innocent mistake."

I have a suggestion: If the paper is really sorry and wants to make amends how about suggesting that they write a story about the MSM trying to silence Ron Paul by not allowing him to participate on the Fox forum on the 6th of January, and run the story this Sunday on the front page?
 
Where is llepard? I'm curious if he finds this Monday run acceptable. It's certainly not, imo.

I'm not looking to negotiate on Mr. Leppard behalf. I'm saying; If he is treated unfairly punishment should be swift and assured.

If the field was level I would agree with you. But the field is not! Some battles must fought on many fronts.

It seems that the only thing they understand is what hurts their pocket books.
 
Ugh. Man I'm so afraid everytime someone posts something like this topic. The knee jerk reaction from just 1% of the community can really hurt impressions of the movement.
 
So how much would we have to pay to sponsor this ad again this Sunday, if the paper will not cave in and run it gratis? Would it be easier to just chip in and get the ad paid for, even though it chaps my a$$ to give the paper more money for their incompetence... I'd throw in a benjamin just to get it done.
 
Put the ad in their anyway

Everyone in New Hampshire go make copies of both Llepard ads. Drop by the newspaper stand in the morning and physically insert the ads into the paper. Do that every day between now and the election. Do USA today too.
 
Has anyone heard from LLepard lately? Hopefully a Neocon goon squad has not put him in a re-education camp for daring to oppose the fascists -- just kidding. Seriously, if he needs help in anyway we need to know.
