Third time's a charm: N&R mentions a big local anti-Amendment One event after ignoring the first two.
The news tab at the website has two related stories up high -- one about the issue being hard for local pastors, the other about voter confusion. They did run a Jeri Rowe column about Laurelyn Dossett's widely-covered protest song, Vote Against Amendment One, although I think they hid it from most North Carolinians in their Google-proof vault.
I'm not convinced our daily paper is covering this story accurately, at least from a Guilford County perspective.
Has the paper done an editorial on this subject? Early voting has been going on for a while, and is expected to play a big part in deciding the issue.
We're also waiting for them to print Trudy Wade's lie about the reason for her inaccurate ad concerning Justin Conrad. Maybe it'll be in an update of The Inside Scoop next week.

Geez Ed what do you want ? Eddie Wooten and Ed Hardin to express opposition in op-eds on the sports page. The N&R is in the tank. Count your blessings

What isn't accurate other than the phony claims about domestic violence and child custody horrors?

Greensboro appears to be a hotbed of resistance to this amendment. That's significant local news, but the News & Record has largely missed the story.

No you didn't. If you did, you wouldn't have posted this:
"The N&R is in the tank. Count your blessings"
