News and Observer Shills For BEST NC

Posted on March 23, 2015 by A.P. Dillon

Apparently BEST NC’s PR firm, EducationNC, isn’t high profile enough to get the right amount of spin out.

The News and Observer had to be called in to do a cloying op-ed praising them. It starts out slapping around Republicans and then offers BEST NC as the solution. Read it here and be sure to check out the comments.

This op ed, of course, is setting the stage for when Rep. Graig Meyer rolls out his ‘big bill’. It is more narrative driving of education by a non-governmental organization or NGO.

BEST NC is an NGO; An unelected and publicly unaccountable entity.

News and Observer Uses Smear Attempt To Protect #APUSH

Posted on December 4, 2014 by A.P. Dillon

Alright, this is going to be a long article. Get your coffee and settle in.

At the News and Observer, the headline reads, “NC education department used Koch-funded group for proposed history lessons”. Take a moment to go read it, but don’t be sipping that coffee when you do. I have to admit, even for News and Observer, this article was a bad joke. I left a comment on the actual article which I am not going to rehash but has important points in it; you can hit that at the bottom of this article.

Narratives are now News….

KEEP READING — There is much, much more. Continue reading →

News and Observer Jumps Media Bias Shark With Wake Endorsements

Posted on October 27, 2014 by A.P. Dillon

Not a lot of background, facts or qualifications for the candidates the News and Observer has endorsed for the Wake County Commissioner race. Perhaps that’s because their resumes are on the light side of experience and heavy on the political activism side – specifically far Left, big government, big spending Moral Monday activism.

The county commissioners hold the purse strings for the Wake. Imagine your taxes if a Moral Monday crew gained control? They’d have you paying your ‘fair share’, right?

I left a comment and continue to comment on things like this because our media cannot or will not do its job. See below. Continue reading →

News and Observer Interview of #NC49 Candidate Leaves Out Arrest Record

Posted on October 22, 2014 by A.P. Dillon

The News and Observer has been creating candidate interview videos.
Here’s Kim Hanchette’s.
(VIDEO)

Mirroring their article on Hanchette, News and Observer asks no questions asked about her Moral Monday participation, Equality NC affiliation or her arrest at Moral Monday in 2013.

These are background pieces of this candidate the public deserves to know. News and Observer has not done their job — which is to tell the whole story, sans the ‘good lighting’. Continue reading →

News And Observer Can’t Stop Campaigning For Dems

Posted on September 22, 2014 by A.P. Dillon

Another day, ANOTHER News and Observer shill piece.
This one is supposed to look horrifying, look at the scary title!

“A hidden, drastic change in NC school funding”

A lot of the readers are nodding lemmings in the comment section. The main theme being “Evil GOP! Rabble Rabble! War on Education! Yarrrrrr!!!!”

A few saw through the bunk sales job.

Here’s one and it cuts right to the point on why this article is full of crap:

Another Day, Another N&O Shill Piece

Posted on September 16, 2014 by A.P. Dillon

Another Day, Another N&O Shill Piece. You can set your watch by it.

Wow, Shill much? MT @newsobserver Editorial: Tillis is wrong and vague about NC’s minimum wage- http://t.co/dBLfy28IJC #NCpol #RaiseTheWage

Love that hashtag – #RaiseTheWage. All the cool union front groups fomenting ire and leading strikes in order to pad their waning member ranks are using it.

Did someone say Union?
