Especially TWC - as soon as GOP took over they rushed through a bill blocking municipalities from making internet access available at a low price for their citizens….like they did in Salisbury.

TWC helped them get elected and protects them every step of the way now.

WBTV has been the best, imo, especially in covering the toll lanes that McCrory contracted out to a for-profit Spanish company - part of BushInc.
