Last week, I reported on the McCrory camp nailing WRAL’s bias to the wall in an email exchange. I also just recently pointed out that the Lt. Governor wasn’t going to take the media spin lying down either.
This week, it’s far Left groups feeding media outlets entire stories.
For anyone doubting media bias is real in North Carolina, consider the case of WNCT reported, Jessica Jewell reporting nearly verbatim material supplied to her by far Left outfit, Progress NC.
I asked the question:
So did @JessicaWNCT plagiarize Progress NC Comms director piece or did they just give it to her to re-print? https://t.co/dPp8VKrs7T @wnct9

I ask because, as usual, Logan & Progress NC are wrong. Again. https://t.co/BfAcFmcg8s @wnct9 @JessicaWNCT

The fellow ‘Logan’ mentioned about is Logan Smith, the communications director for Progress NC that I’ve called out for false narratives in NC education.. I’ve already point out how math challenged Mr. Smith is.
This is the answer I received:
@LadyLiberty1885 No, I did not. @ProgressNow_NC is a legitimate news source that provided me the info directly. I verified independently.

So, the reporter admits Progress NC gave her the material. As Dr. Stoops points out, the reports by Jewell and Progress NC are nearly verbatim.
I then replied, stating the obvious:
@JessicaWNCT , ProgressNC = far left non-profit. They are not a “news source”, unless you mean they fed you news. https://t.co/k20LQqgjOV

I also asked a very relevant question — who did she ‘verify’ the information with?
@JessicaWNCT Quck question – verified with who, exactly?
— A.P. Dillon – LL1885 (@LadyLiberty1885) January 16, 2016
So far, no response.
