WRAL
U.S. center-left
WRAL is a Raleigh, North Carolina NBC affiliate owned by the privately held Capitol Broadcasting Company, making it one of the very few locally and independently owned stations among top-25 U.S. market network affiliates. It leans center-left editorially, with a strong emphasis on factual accuracy and active political fact-checking. Its coverage of the Trump administration's second term has repeatedly scrutinized and rebutted claims made by President Trump and his allies.
