Black-out by media in Lynchburg, VA re Jerry Falwell Jr.

He and Liberty University are the biggest employers and landowners in the city.

Nothing on the site for the local TV news: https://wset.com/
or
the local paper: https://www.newsadvance.com/

No Jerry, no nude photos, no pool boy anywhere to be found.
