What's the big deal?

Sinclair is conservative propaganda, much like Fox News and Murdoch Newspapers. It is a major source influencing people, not informing people. As opposed to NPR and PBS which are straightforward and upfront honest journalism.

Those who see NPR and PBS as liberal propaganda, don't watch or listen to these medias - they echo the hate which the Republican Party and conservatives whine about, using the false flag that they are liberal propaganda.

Read the transcript above, and don't be scared if you are one of the willfully ignorant. The Truth will set you free!

BULLSHIT.

NPR and PBS have progressive biases, you just are too much of a twat-hack to admit it. Stop it, right there, you lying fuck.

Stop lying, for the love of god stop lying.

What they read was nothing as dark as you pussy cucks make it out to be.

“The best books... are those that tell you what you know already.”
George Orwell, 1984

This is your problem, and sadly it ain't fixable.

I always find it comical when progressive government tools like you quote Orwell and don't even realize your side are the Big Brother wanna-be's.

I don't watch Fox News, I don't listen to hannity or rush, so all those bullshit dodges by people like you don't work.

I use CNN as my main MSM news site so I can see how off the deep end they are going.

You are one of the biggest lemmings on this board, a government shill, and more than likely a terrible miserable person.

I watched the video yesterday. It's so ridiculous that it's actually laughable. I'm not sure if Sinclair has responded, but I'm not sure how you explain away this one.

IMO, it seemed like a corporate message.
Do you freak out when the toys r us greeters always say the same thing?

Nope, nor do I freak out when reading or hearing any sales pitch / Ad. Which has to do with the news. Trust but verify, and if someone only uses one source or one perspective, they do not get the hold story or verify a fact.

Too many echo what they hear and don't verify what they hear, because they trust and are too lazy, too fearful or too dumb to watch, read or hear other perspectives. And even this requires some common sense.

Climate Change is a good example. Something is amiss, and yet too many dismiss the obvious changes in sea ice and sea temperature as a normal process, and never consider industrial pollution as a cause. They parrot the deniers and never look to the science.

Q. How do you know CNN goes off the "deep end' unless you have some reference?

A. You listen to Trump and others who are interviewed or their tweets and speeches and believe what you want to hear, and reject anything which conflicts with you opinions.

That seems to be your method, for anyone who buys the current (iteration) of callous conservatism as rational, pragmatic and compassionate knows otherwise.

I know it when i see it, bias is like porn in that respect.

I don't reject anything, except the opinions of hack cucks like you, sniveling little government ass-kissers, and even then i listen before I reject them.

Sinclair Broadcast Group Forces Nearly 200 Station Anchors To Read Same Script

From the LInk:

KELLY: So why did Sinclair order its anchors to do this? What's the message here?

FOLKENFLIK: I mean, the message isn't a dog whistle. It's more like a cannonball going off. They're at once attacking their competitors in service of ostensibly praising their own professionalism. And they're also saying, look; we're a safe home for those of you who, like strong devotees of President Trump, believe that much of the media is involving fake news, involved in personal bias, is involved in trying to distort what you're presented as supposedly objective, fair. Sinclair is contributing directly to that claim in hundreds of markets across the country.

KELLY: Right. So the message that was presented here was there's a lot of fake news out there; come to us for trusted reporting, which in fairness is a message a lot of news organizations put out there to promote themselves. We say, this is the place where facts are checked. How is what Sinclair is doing here so different?

FOLKENFLIK: Well, you know, The Washington Post recently adopted the phrase democracy dies in darkness, talking about its accountability mission. The New York Times has over a century-old motto, all the news that's fit to print.

KELLY: Sure.

FOLKENFLIK: What Sinclair's engaging is negative campaigning in a sense. And it is different. It is not a journalistic impulse. It is an attempt to slam and denigrate other elements of the media. Rather than saying we do it differently, rather than saying we do it the very best we can, best of profession, they're saying the other guys don't do it well. And you see that in two pockets of society right now. You see that particularly among conservative Republicans. That's a tradition spanning back over a half century if you think of Joe McCarthy, Spiro Agnew. It's become part of the Republican mantra. You also see that at Fox News. Very successfully carved out an entirely new niche for itself - a conservatively identified media organization serving viewers. And now we're seeing it in local news with Sinclair.

KELLY: Is it absolutely clear, David, that the anchors had to read this script? Could they have said no?

FOLKENFLIK: We know this from a variety of sources. We know this from Sinclair's top news executive, whom I interviewed a few weeks ago, when he was talking about this, saying, yes, we are having everybody do this. We think this is part of our corporate news journalistic mandate to explain what it is we're up to. We see this from station managers who sent out memos to their people saying, you don't have a lot of choice in this, folks. We see this from Sinclair journalists who are saying privately, we don't have a lot of choice here. And we know this why? In part because think back a little over a dozen years ago or so. I interviewed their then-former Washington bureau chief who ventilated with me on the record concerns of Sinclair's bias. He was fired that day. But more to the point, they pursued his unemployment benefits, made him pay them back to the state of Maryland. That's the kind of reach Sinclair has.

Lots more, open you minds to what really is the goal of Sinclair Broadcasting.
