WGHP Fox8 contradicting itself

WGHP's lack of concern for factual accuracy has reached laughable proportions as they currently have two stories online that directly contradict each other. In addition to reporting on the "Guilford County libraries," of which there are no such things (there is a Greensboro library system), a story this evening reports:
"City council voted 8-to-1 last night to add pornography software to computers used by children, but not those used by adults."
"Add pornography software"? Well, you know what they mean. But that part about "not those used by adults"? That is in direct contradiction to their other story from earlier today that remains uncorrected:
"People over the age of 18 will have a choice to use the filters or not."
The claim in the newer story that each of the eighteen reported incidents involved adults is incorrect too.

  1. Who cares about "library" vs "libraries" other than you?

    Otherwise what's incorrect about it? What new software WAS added for those used by adults?

  6. Technically the statement about Guilford County libraries is true as Guilford County gives money to other library systems which is why they allow county residents to use them.

    Obviously though the Greensboro council decision on the computer use would only affect the Greensboro operated libraries.

  7. Guilford county gives money to the Piedmont Triad Partnership, that does not make them technically the Guilford County Piedmont Triad Partnership. But thanks for commenting, even if it is a defense of incompetence
