Greensboro area bloggers, including Ben Holder, are starting to take a look at the objectivity of CBS-2 (WFMY) as it relates to the just-started Scott Sanders police case in Greensboro.See this post from Holder's Troublemaker blog.
Specifically, many are having a tough time stomaching this report from anchor Frank Mickens. They accuse Mickens and CBS-2 of extreme bias as it relates to both this case, and the ongoing troubles down at City Hall and its involvement with the Greensboro Police Dept.
A commenter over at the Troublemaker writes:
Compare Fox 8 and WFMY's coverage of this case. One reports and one attempts to sway your thinking in the court of public opinion. Look at both and decide who is reporting and who is dividing the community.
E.C. :)

The irony is that in their zeal to convict Scott Sanders with their obvious biases, they may be laying a good apeal basis, in the event of a conviction.
Very disappointing. I think Frank Mickens is a good reporter but this was just shabby journalism. The N&R has been inexcusably slanted on this story for years, but that has become the norm.
It's a shame that Frank Mickens is working and Dave Goren isn't.
I rarely watch the channel 2 news program. Too much race baiting and you have to hear them pimp that horrible digtriad site constantly.
