A local newspaper is taking some heat for what was not included along with all of Wednesday's pre-Thanksgiving ads. It involves an Asheville Citizen-Times insert some readers believe should have been labeled as paid political advertising.The Raleigh Digest is published by a company called InTouchNC, which is owned by Republican State Representative Tim Moffitt. Moffitt says he doesn't write the articles, but he does pay the bills.It's 48 pages of articles dealing with what was a heated and controversial year in Raleigh. Moffitt says it's a straight-forward explanation of what he believes are the facts behind laws passed by the GOP controlled legislature.Critics see it as little more than right-wing spin. Enough Citizen-Times subscribers complained that the newspaper posted a clarification and apology for any confusion among its readers. _______________ Follow WLOS on social media: WLOS ABC 13 News on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/News13/ WLOS ABC 13 News on Twitter: https://twitter.com/WLOS_13 WLOS ABC 13 News on Instagram: https://instagram.com/wlos_13 Subscribe to WLOS on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/ABC13Channel/?sub_confirmation=1 Listen to AnchorMOMS, the Podcast: https://wlos.com/news/anchormoms/anchormoms-the-podcast Watch more top local news stories: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kk8Ge6UXHJs&list=PLkVbaoT-aYbIvnEpR0Ct5QQQqYaORUSUH For all of the day’s top local and national news, visit http://www.wlos.com Watch our live newscasts and other live video at https://wlos.com/watch Have a news tip?
