  Evan McMullin was a Romney / Boehner GOPe acolyte who ran for president in 2016 with the hope of sabotaging Donald Trump and throwing the race to Hillary.  Yet, North Carolina Public Radio thinks it’s kosher to label him a “lifelong conservative.”    …

  I swear.  I haven’t seen the newsroom at The N&O this agitated and aggravated since the late, great Jesse Helms prowled the halls of the US Senate.  Lt. Governor Dan Forest has announced his intention to evict Roy Cooper — who did NOTHING for…

“False testimony in North Carolina gerrymandering trial? Judges exclude GOP expert witness claims.”   That’s the McClatchy headline.  Were Republicans caught lying under oath?  Let’s read further, shall we? :   The trial challenging North Carolina’s legislative lines as unconstitutional, partisan gerrymanders took a dramatic…

  And you wonder why their reporters are all over social media pitching 99 cents unlimited digital access “deals” for subscribing to their rag.  It’s hard to find another business that has such a lack of respect for the general public — its pool of…

  I’ve watched the N&O for a long time.  It’s changed ownership, but the paper still has an amazing talent for trolling j-schools and scooping up smarmy, arrogant tools and dropping them into the politics beat. (Rob Christensen was, by far, the worst of these.)…

You will get no argument from us when alleging that Tim Moore is, um, ethically-challenged.  We’ve reported at length about his shenanigans against fellow Republicans, his abandonment of the conservative principles that allowed him to become part of the House majority and speaker, and basically…

It’s funny how Pat McCrory’s concerns about vote fraud in 2016 – which sound a lot like the stuff we’re talking about NOW — were derided by leftists as “baseless”.  But, in 2018, when  they’re on the losing end, they’ll fuss about the same stuff…

At first,I thought the news of William Barber being named a MacArthur  “Genius”  was the work of ‘The Onion’ or another of James O’Keefe’s hijinks.  But NO, it was true. Now comes The N&O.  With all of the possible choices for ‘Tarheel of The Year,’…
