Sinclar Broadcast Group, a conservative news network run by a GOP megadonor that may soon own 72 percent of the American media market, has enacted a new set of talking points targeting “fake news” that some employees say sounds like “pro-Trump propaganda.”

CNN reported Wednesday that Sinclair, which either owns or operates 173 news stations nationwide, circulated internal documents recently instructing anchors to read a script that decries “biased and false news,” a short leap from President Donald Trump’s “fake news” battle cry.

I’m [we are] extremely proud of the quality, balanced journalism that [proper news brand name of local station] produces,” the script, which anchors are instructed to read to the letter, says. “But I’m [we are] concerned about the troubling trend of irresponsible, one sided news stories plaguing our country.”...

This sounds like conservative idiocy. Undermine the very industry they're in.

Conservative media has always been the biggest purveyor of fake news, propaganda and lies. They don't even hide it. Opinions are treated as facts.

There are people who buy into anything that Conservative or Russian backed media will say. That is the unfortunate truth.

Thank You, Uncle Vlad for beating Hillary and saving the American Republic!
 
OMG OMG OMG this means that the crazy left wingers are only controlling 98% of the Fake News now
 
Why are networks even allowed to have stories that are not government approved? That's like unconstitutional or something, right?
