I have no idea who Cash Michaels is, but, I can not believe that someone who writes for, 3 is it, papers, has a weekly gig on TV, and who gets praise on elevators for being the reason lots of kids now are have great jobs in business and government, etc (I hope he hasn't hurt himself patting himself on the back), would talk the way he does on that forum. He is rude, calls people names, takes comments out of context, comes unglued that someone would follow up on him saying he was taking his kid to the dentist with "Poor Cash's kid" as it being a personal attack on his children.
Is this guy for real? Is the guy posting really Cash Michaels? Are any of his numerous employers bothered by what he writes? He comes across as a arrogant, racist jerk.
"would talk the way he does on that forum"----
Makes one appreciate the discourse on alternate forums.
Channel 11 WTVD is the Durham based ABC affiliate and
caters to a larger minority demographic in its signal area
(historically, before cable etc.), while WRAL 5 addresses
the Raleigh market and eastern part of NC. Important to
understand for those who have large TV commercial advertising
budgets. Mr. Michaels does regularly appear on 3rd in market
NBC 17 public service show, whose ratings barely register
(everyones in church).
The WTVD forum as you have seen can get quite heated and
nasty, but does reflect an element of local thinking which is
useful to understanding "what the heck is going on in this town"?
"Lying through their collective teeth" and "dupe" is what interests here.
"comes across as a arrogant, racist jerk."
If you told me you met a columnist from NC who struck you that way, I would immediately ask you if it was Cash. Sounds like him to me, and from long before this case.
