As #NCpol reporters dial into the @NC_Governor's #COVID19nc briefing, the #NCGov's comms team is sorting them into groups:
1. Those who will get to ask Qs
2. Those who won't
Gov. Cooper's team has been doing this for months while reporters asked why they're not getting to ask Qs.

@NC_Governor For months, reporters have been complaining on Twitter about why they're not getting called on to ask questions. And all that time, the #NCGov's comms team has been taking active steps to block them from getting that chance.
Fathom that level of deception.

@NC_Governor Had it not been for the @nsjnews investigating, nobody in the #NCpol press corps would've known (or probably cared) that Emergency Operations solicited a Democrat-aligned organizing firm to run these #NCGov briefings.
Does that seem odd to YOU? It does to me.

@NC_Governor @nsjnews So, if you're one of #NCGov Cooper's chosen children, and you get to ask him a question - keep in mind that you were picked for a reason.
Someone on the comms team made a decision that YOU could ask a question. That you were OK.
That you were safe.
