@MargoinWNC Check the primary results. Not sure they agree.

Cunningham stands up against the party machine for being penalized for standing up for her constituents. I fixed for you.

@BryanRAnderson You know, it IS possible for more than one reporter to figure something out at the same time. But yes, we credited WBT.

FWIW: Reporters absolutely need to do a better job about giving other reporters credit. Having freelanced for years, it’s a frustration I share. I can’t speak to your sourcing or timing, but saw the Cunningham news from a public record. But yes, Brett tweeted 5 mins before I did.

wow.

NGL, it was weird missing opening day for the first time in 20+ years. I didn't exactly miss it - I'm just editing now, not reporting. But old habits die hard. #nofunwithoutdonuts
