In an otherwise interesting story about the sums of money
being spent by candidates in the NH Primary, published
in the Wall Street Journal on Wednesday Jan 21st, this
assertion appeared:  "WMUR-TV, New Hampshire's only
broadcast TV outlet..."
Duh...even if you exclude NHPTV which cannot accept political
ads, there are channels 21, 50 and 60;  and channel
50 carries news, plus weather by Al Kaprelian who makes
Howard Dean seem sedate!  To the best of my knowledge,
the WSJ did not print a correction.
