Mark Robinson, who ran for North Carolina governor in 2024, tells podcast he had ‘obsession’ with porn and sex

The former Republican North Carolina lieutenant governor Mark Robinson has admitted he misled voters during his unsuccessful 2024 gubernatorial campaign when he denied posting racist and offensive comments on a pornography website – suggesting he did so to protect Donald Trump’s successful presidential run.

Robinson, who worked in furniture manufacturing before entering politics in 2020, told the After the Call podcast on Thursday: “I won’t say that I completely lied. Some of the things about the whole story – some of it — there’s some truth to it.”

The spectacular undoing of Robinson’s political career came after CNN reported in September 2024 that he had been posting under a pseudonym on Nude Africa, an online porn forum.

States argue deal would create largest broadcast station group in US, cut jobs and increase consumers’ cable bills

Eight states asked a US judge on Friday to issue a temporary restraining order to stop a $3.5bn merger of Nexstar Media Group and Tegna.

On Thursday, the local broadcast station owners received merger approval from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the US Department of Justice and said they had closed the transaction two hours after approval, the day after the states filed their lawsuit.

The states argue that the deal, which would create the largest broadcast station group in the US, would “put more broadcast programming in the hands of fewer people, cut local jobs, increase cable bills, and significantly impact the delivery of news and other media content to Americans nationwide”.

Sam Keith changed my life. I have given up on comics. Everything was looking the same. The stories were the same.

A friend came into art class one day and plopped down a copy of Darker Image and said "Look at this." A preposterously proportioned human male and a cartoonish woman with a bit of a belly that was obviously inspired by Frank Frazetta. The variations on 9 panels were completely shattered by bizarre organic and inorganic framings.

It was radically different from anything else. Then I started reading it. I had no idea what was going on. And that is a wonderful feeling.

In the Maxx comic you would read the issue and just have to sit back for a bit and figure out what you just read. The letters column was like reading dissertations from psychology majors. The whole Sam Keith package was multiple layers from art, story telling, and psychology all wrapped up in a very not easy to open package.

Sam Keith changed me. He changed the comics industry. He will be missed.
