1. There is an aspect of the media coverage in North Carolina election fraud scandal that is very troubling.

I gave the reporter involved, @NickOchsnerWBTV, a chance to explain but he's not getting back to me.

But people need to know about what happened.

@NickOchsnerWBTV 2. One of the key interviews of the campaign was when @NickOchsnerWBTV interviewed Lisa Britt, one of the people in Dowless' operation, on December 12.

In the interview Britt denied she had been paid to collect ballots & denied doing anything illegal.

3. Later, when Britt talked to the committee she admitted that yes, Dowless had paid her to collect ballots, which is against the law.

She explained that she lied during the interview because IT TOOK PLACE IN DOWLESS' KITCHEN WITH DOWLESS PRESENT newsobserver.com/news/politics-…

4. But here is the thing: in the segment, @NickOchsnerWBTV DOES NOT reveal that the interview took place in Dowless' kitchen or that Dowless was present

Nick ends the segment by saying: "We have still yet to hear publicly from the man that Lisa Britt worked for, McCrae Dowless"

5. He had just conducted this interview in Dowless kitchen, a fact that @NickOchsnerWBTV did not reveal to viewers, and then pretends like no one has heard from this guy

Britt says Dowless told her that Nick was "a friend" and he would like her to speak to him.

6. Anyway, @NickOchsnerWBTV and @WBTV_News should explain why the fact that this interview took place in Dowless' kitchen with Dowless present was not revealed to viewers.

Maybe there is an innocent explanation for all this but it seems highly problematic to me

7. Two days after conducting the Britt interview in Dowless' kitchen, @NickOchsnerWBTV scored an exclusive interview with Mark Harris wbtv.com/video/2018/12/…
