Our own Webmaster Don Hyatt was interviewed on NBC-17 tonight.

I couldn't help but notice that in the on air version of the story, NBC-17 called Don Hyatt "a Cary man with political aspirations." (This is not in the online version, but I have the tape.)

John,
That's the 5th! definition. Don't you think that's stretching things a bit?

Stretching is not the word *I* would use Don, I would say _prodding_.

Maybe inciting. Perhaps goading.
