Look at the way 3 of the major media outlets covered the Auditor’s report of campaign use by the offices of Richard Moore and Bev Perdue:
N&O: "Perdue, Moore used offices for campaigns"
Charlotte Observer: "Auditor finds against Perdue, Moore"
WRAL.com: "Moore rips audit critical of computer use"
Interesting that N&O and Charlotte articles are the same text, same byline, except with different headlines. The N&O gives top billing on its website to the article with pictures of both candidates. WRAL, conversely, gives Richard Moore front billing with a picture of just him and the fact that he finds the report flawed. Favoritism by WRAL editors? I think so.
