Orson Scott Card has been named to the UNC-TV board of trustees reports the Greensboro (North Carolina) News & Record. The board of trustees is an advisory group to the UNC Board of Governors which holds UNC-TV’s broadcast licenses and is responsible for the organization.
The controversial SF writer has lived in Greensboro since 1983. He responded to the News & Record’s request for comment: “Those who want my actual views will consult the originals and not the deliberately distorted reports.”
UNC-TV board Chairman Robb Teer said in a press release, “We are pleased to welcome Mr. Card to the UNC-TV board of trustees. We are grateful for his willingness to serve and look forward to working with him to continue providing the people of our state with enriching, life-changing television in these challenging times.”
Last year UNC-TV produced 340 hours of original programming, such as North Carolina Now, Legislative Week in Review, and North Carolina Weekend.

“life changing television”? This almost as funny as “deliberately distorted reports”.
I’ve read Orson Scott Card’s blog. No need to distort. Just quote.
