Fake News proves its fake but the Dumbocrats eat it all up. Just cant seem to shake this conspiracy and how if we continue to give power to this fake media where our children will be in 30 years.

Earlier this month, CNN’s Brian Stelter broke the news that Sinclair Broadcast Group, owner or operator of nearly 200 television stations in the U.S., would be forcing its news anchors to record a promo about “the troubling trend of irresponsible, one sided news stories plaguing our country.” The script, which parrots Donald Trump’s oft-declarations of developments negative to his presidency as “fake news,” brought upheaval to newsrooms already dismayed with Sinclair’s consistent interference to bring right-wing propaganda to local television broadcasts.

The worst part was they gave specific wording to be recited at each station

Ummm...................you DO realize that Sinclair Broadcast Group is mainly conservative, right? And you also realize that Trump said "they are far superior to CNN", right?

Trump said Sinclair ‘is far superior to CNN.’ What we know about the conservative media giant.

Based in suburban Maryland, Sinclair owns and operates local news stations nationwide, in cities such as Bakersfield, Calif.; Amarillo, Tex.; Cedar Rapids, Iowa; and Birmingham, Ala., although it does not currently own any stations in New York, Chicago, the San Francisco Bay area or Los Angeles.


Many of the stations it runs are affiliates of other national networks, such as WKEF, an ABC affiliate in Dayton, Ohio, and KOKH, a Fox affiliate in Oklahoma City, and are therefore more widely known by those associations. Sinclair owns or operates 59 Fox affiliates, 41 ABC affiliates, 30 CBS affiliates, 25 NBC affiliates, nine Univision affiliates and others, and it also has its own network, Comet, according to its website.


Its stations are clustered in predominantly conservative areas of the country, according to an analysis of the company’s markets by The Washington Post’s Philip Bump: The broadcast areas of Sinclair stations voted for Trump over Hillary Clinton by a 19-point margin, on average.
