You should get paid for this level of research! Regarding my points above, I found this excerpt from the AEI report particular indicative. ![Screenshot_20210614-194050](https://d3tmycllq5yp1y.cloudfront.net/original/2X/a/ae222bcfab619ca0f6ec67e5df4a186a7441a9a6.png) ---

It should say, Raleigh sides with the dtraleigh message board, developers, and the vast majority of residents who like the new options popping up in and near downtown. ---

> [@evan.j.bost](#): > > Another issue; Regardless of politics, humans are biased, and subconsciously use “reason” and “logic” and “objective observable facts” to justify their emotional limbic system urges. _Science says nothing; Scientists do_ I agree with this 100% as someone trained in Social/Political Science as well as researching it on my own. Roughly speaking, about 30% of the population can be categorized as “conservative” and 30% as “liberal”–universally; I.e., across cultures and history. People have underlying pre-rational worldviews which lend one to adopt a more conservative or liberal ideology. Put another way, most people don’t decide on an ideology after a long and thorough review of facts and information; we’re already predisposed towards one. That’s why “reaching across the aisle” can be so futile. People can debate facts and logic ad nauseum and still not change positions or come to agreement. It’s a bit fatalistic but if we could all be self-aware of this it might be helpful. ---

Simon Sinek actually helped me fully grasp this concept with his analysis of brands that have achieved extremely loyal followings. It’s usually not the product that creates the following, but rather the emotional connection consumers have with the brand, developed by a common set of beliefs and attitudes. Or otherwise put, a herd instinct of “us” replaces the utility of the underlying product. The product could be shoes, or a partisan referendum. ---

Interesting development on the quality of local news articles: maybe journalists are not big fans of how sensationalist we’re getting, either? [Two more local reporters have quit their jobs](https://www.newsobserver.com/entertainment/tv/warm-tv-blog/article252179463.html). The Facebook announcements by Emmy-winning WRAL anchor [Sloane Heffernan](https://www.facebook.com/WRALSloaneHeffernan/posts/335245684621346) and CBS17 reporter [Colleen Quigley](https://www.facebook.com/ColleenQuigleyNews/posts/224417099496399) are the latest in what seems like a small but continuing trend of resigning journalists.

I got a friend at channel 11, they currently looking for Tisha’s replacement when she leaves in July. They Chris replacement Do Schwenneger. And do replacement in the morning is Kwelyn murphy who debuted Wednesday. ---

TV News has become a wringer of an industry as of late as stations try to do more news with less people. Raleigh is an odd market given the history of affiliation flips (the multiple moves of NBC, the 1998 move of Fox) and that you have an incumbent locally based broadcaster that has a two station pairing grandfathered in. Usually I would say that Raleigh could support a fourth OTA news operation given its size, heck Roanoke has four and is 40+ spots down the Nielsen DMA list. But there just is a feeling that local TV is going to cave upon itself and the results might not be pretty. ---

I thought this was a lighthearted story to see on the news today and hadn’t seen it shared yet (correct me if I’m wrong). > **[WRAL's own Spiderman: Bryan Mims rappels 30 stories off downtown Raleigh...](https://www.wral.com/wral-s-own-spiderman-bryan-mims-rappels-30-stories-off-downtown-raleigh-high-rise-for-charity/19903182/)** > > Yet another member of the WRAL TV news team is going to rappel 30 stories down a high-rise in downtown Raleigh to raise money for the Special Olympics North Carolina.

Not exactly sure where this goes but “news” seems appropriate since it’s the [RALToday](https://raltoday.6amcity.com/subscribe/ZHlsYW5AYWNtZWNhcmdvLmNvbQ) newsletter?

Also Raleigh could support a second Spanish-language news operation and a Black news operation. ---

Raleigh became a Top 25 market a few years back and only two larger markets have under four news departments. One of those, Detroit, is finally being rectified as CBS plans on relaunching news at its mess of its Detroit duopoly. The other is St. Louis where Sinclair does nothing on its ABC outlet. If markets such as Greenville-Spartanburg, Hartford, Harrisburg, Lexington, and Roanoke can support four news departments the Triangle easily could. It would just mean either unwindinf WRAL/WRAZ or getting someone with motivation to buy WLFL from Sinclair. I’m sure if their own stupidity forces them to sell stations someone with a lot of holdings in the Carolinas such as Tegna or Gray would love the entry into a constrained market. ---

Well Sinclair could retrofits News on WLFL they just in Winston-Salem. So maybe there hope. Also with Nexstar eyeing CW WNCN could switch to CW and CBS will have to find another station possible WLFL/WRDC and make it an O&O. Then there be an ABC, CBS, and CW O&O plus a Univision and Telemundo O&O in this market. ---
