DNC Bumps Hearst's WMUR from Debate; O'Malley Calls For Hearst Boycott

WMUR was set to be a co sponsor at the upcoming ABC News debate Saturday 19 September. However the DNC decided to pull WMUR's sponsorship following a disagreement between station directors and production employees from forming the union. It should be noted that there are other unions operating at WMUR but there's currently contention over the pension.

 

Apparently the union IBEW spoke with the DNC to get WMUR pulled if the disagreement didn't work out.

 

To make matters worst for Hearst presidential candidate Martin O'Malley is calling on other democratic candidates to boycott advertising on Hearst stations across the country until they negotiate.
