Walt Sikes: Biased coverage
Regarding the Oct. 31 news article “McCrory brokered meeting to extend donor’s contracts”: I am disappointed with your biased coverage of Gov. Pat McCrory. The residents of North Carolina deserve better, and you have an obligation to present information in a fair and balanced manner. Perhaps as you choose sides and get onto the Democrat tank, you lose your objectivity, but that is no excuse for blatant bias causing your reporting to be less than fair. That’s a poor show.
Do you get kudos from your West Coast owner or your peers as you operate in such a biased manner? Something must motivate such behavior, and it is not a calling to honest journalism.
Hopefully someone in your organization has the courage to speak up and present the truth. You have a responsibility to do that. So far it’s a poor show.
