The Goodmons, WRAL, Janet Cowell and Roy Cooper, overcharging North Carolina State employees in retirement plans and the Wachovia, Wells Fargo merger

"Since we last spoke almost three months ago about concerns regarding campaign contributions by WRAL’s owner to one of Governor McCrory’s potential Democrat opponents for governor, Attorney General Roy Cooper, WRAL has continually failed to disclose these campaign contributions and financial ties to third party political groups in its reporting on the 2016 race for governor.

Roy Cooper, Janet Cowell, Kay Hagan and Brad Miller
know Wells Fargo and Wachovia attorneys lied 
to a North Carolina Business Court
within 2008 litigation, and didn't do anything about it.

...These donations and subsequent failure to disclose them to viewers in your reporting raise serious questions and concerns about WRAL’s ability to be fair, transparent and impartial in its coverage.

Mark Binker, WRAL and the News and Record
didn't investigate or run the story

...If WRAL believes – through its reporting and the stories it chooses to carry – that a businessman who has a history of donating to Republican candidates and groups can influence the reporting of a news organization he owns, it is reasonable to assume that your owner’s campaign donations and financial ties to secretive third party political groups that routinely attack the governor can also influence the reporting you produce at WRAL.

...We believe that given the history of your station’s political contributions and financial connections to third party political groups you routinely source, it is reasonable to request that going forward, you disclose WRAL’s donations to Attorney General Cooper and connections to secretive third party groups in all of your reporting on the governor, the administration as well as the 2016 race for governor as a whole. I’m afraid that failure to do so will call into question the very integrity of WRAL as a news organization, do irreparable damage to the journalism profession and further erode the public’s remaining trust in the media.
