So Bill and Melinda Gates come to Charlotte, spend the day at CPCC and West Charlotte and — near as I can tell — the Charlotte media largely ignores it. An AP reporter did follow them around and filed a story which was carried in — the Asheville paper and the WBT website. News14 also had a squib.

Oddly, CMS puffed the visit not at all.

Is it because Bill was not handing out checks?
