WLOS is at it again—twisting the facts and pushing a narrative instead of reporting the news.
Their coverage of HUD’s rejection of Asheville’s discriminatory disaster relief plan wasn’t about informing viewers—it was about manipulating them. Instead of reporting why HUD rejected the city's plan (because it violated federal law by favoring businesses based on race and gender), WLOS fanned the flames of division, implying that HUD and the Trump administration are harming minority and women-owned businesses.
That’s not the truth. The real story is that HUD is enforcing fairness in disaster relief—ensuring all business owners are treated equally. But WLOS didn’t emphasize that. Instead, they chose to push a false narrative—one designed to stir up outrage rather than provide factual, balanced reporting.

WLOS and MY40's sponsors may not even be aware that their ad dollars are supporting a station that misrepresents the facts to its viewers. Let’s bring this to their attention—politely and professionally.

✅ Reach Out to Sponsors:Call or email the businesses that advertise on MY40 and let them know you’re concerned. Encourage them to ask their WLOS account representatives why the station refuses to report honestly and fairly.
🚨 What to Say:
“Did you know WLOS framed HUD’s rejection of Asheville’s recovery plan as an attack on minorities, rather than explaining the real reason—that the plan was discriminatory against white male business owners?”
“Your business helps fund WLOS’s content. Are you comfortable with them misleading viewers instead of providing balanced reporting?”
“Would you be willing to ask your WLOS account representative why their station is choosing activism over journalism?”
❌ We are NOT calling for a boycott.We are simply encouraging dialogue—because sponsors should know what their ad dollars are supporting.
Why Can’t WLOS Just Report the News?
Why does WLOS fan the flames of discontent instead of trusting viewers to form their own opinions? Why do they serve as a mouthpiece for the so-called “progressive” agenda instead of simply reporting the facts?
WLOS needs to hear from their sponsors and from YOU.
