Union Leader, WMUR and Franconia's Jeffrey Jesseman cover KingCast v. Ayotte/Franconia litigation for Right-to-Know Sunshine Week.

By Christopher King

Okay, actually, that's a damn lie and I'm a damn liar: The Union Leader and WMUR have not issued one peep about the Grafton Superior litigation, even though Judge Timothy Vaughn ruled:

1. NH AG Kelly Ayotte is compelled to produce the original Bruce McKay 5/11 dash cam video for KingCast to review and record, which we will do in the next coupla' weeks.

2. NH AG Kelly Ayotte acted ILLEGALLY in failing to provide homicide protocol to KingCast.

3. Town of Franconia is ORDERED to provide Affidavits regarding their purported searches for complaint against Bruce McKay and other information including arrest and Use-of-Force Complaints involving McKay and Liko Kenney.

4. Town of Franconia is ORDERED to provide entire, unredacted personnel file of Bruce McKay. I believe that they did do this already or at least they said they did. Meanwhile, some of the information is undoubtedly NOT protected by RSA 91-A:5 privacy, take a look.

Union Leader and WMUR are also not covering the related case of KingCast/Brian Jesseman v. Union Leader, in which we are arguing for the release of an IP address and contact information for the tool who posed at Brian Jesseman as being in support of Martha McLeod's properly-failed HB 1428/Bruce McKay Highway. We make this argument with support from Harvard Law blog and a case on point. Also, Fuzzy Zoeller sued Wikipedia one and two after some tool issue material lies about his actions, so even anonymous Defamation is not always protected. Chicken and collards for everyone!

Union Leader and WMUR are also not covering the arrest of Gregory P. Floyd for theft at his workplace (Wal-Mart) which was allegedly caught on video. KingCast will be entitled to that video, thank you. At $350 it's a Misdemeanor in NH so if he's convicted at least he won't be a felon, as his daddy is 3 times over. Union Leader did, however, cover the Permanent Restraining Order Judge Vaughn issued for AJ Boisvert against Floyd after he threatened to pull a gun on her without Just Cause. His criminal case is continued to the day after our birthdays -- 15 April, 2008.

Yep, nothing to see here. Solar eclipse; might as well be midnight.

But Franconia Selectman Candidate Jesseman is covering it, and people are watching.

As a former editor of a statewide weekly, and reporter at a statewide daily, I find the silence deafening.
