Some county election officials in NC promoted conspiracy theories about the 2020 outcome and the Jan. 6 riot
Local election board members across North Carolina have promoted conspiracy theories, including the lie that the 2020 presidential election was stolen from President Donald Trump. Some who shared false claims even chair county election boards, which make important decisions about Sunday voting, polling locations and voting hours. Traditionally, election administration in North Carolina was largely […]

"Pamela Brown got it right." www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...
Late on Wednesday night, dozens of sailors strolled down Pattaya's famed Walking Street, along with tourists, journalists and police. Of the roughly 20 sailors approached throughout the evening, most declined to talk, saying they were under strict orders not to speak to the press. The harsh conditions aboard the ship were hardly a secret. Back in July, CNN correspondent Pamela Brown spent three days on board, highlighting the severe isolation, sleep deprivation and mental health strains afflicting the crew.

​Deep suspicion of reporters was on display during a hotel dinner, where two sailors, who didn’t disclose their names, reluctantly spoke about their experiences, offering only vague, one-line answers. Pressed on official assertions that conditions aboard the ship were fine, both shook their heads in disagreement before paying the check and politely excusing themselves.

Moments later, one of the sailors doubled back, holding up his phone to reveal a message typed on the screen: ​“Pamela Brown got it right.”
