Gaston paper cherry-picks McHenry-related voter fraud case

Today's Gaston Gazette is happy to tell you that
Former McHenry campaign worker could have election fraud charges resolved today.
What they don't tell you is that Michael Aaron Lay already turned down a plea deal on Monday. I have no idea why newspapers pick and chose which news to tell you. The only thing I can think is that if they had printed this yesterday or the day before, perhaps interested parties could have witnessed the trial.

Any other suggestions?

For more on Michael Aaron Lay's voter fraud case with its ties to Patrick McHenry as both roommate and staffer look here and here and here and here and here.

Interestingly, the Gaston Gazette is owned by a media conglomerate called Freedom Communications. Their flagship paper, the Orange County (CA) Register, is only slightly to the right of Fox News.

Not that the owner of a newspaper would ever mandate any kind of bias in their community newspapers...

Only slightly? I wonder if they naturally conspire to help McHenry or if people from both sides actually chat from time to time.
