What is your opinion of RIGHT-WING SINCLAIR MEDIA FORCING their anchors to repeat STATE MESSAGES in favor of Trump?

Question

The video "proof the news is scripted"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2dJxiDkcjA

attempts to show how "Main Street Media all say the same thing, fake news",

when in reality:

"The company's conservative-leaning politics have come down to Sinclair's stations through "must runs" — stories local producers are told to air during their newscasts.

Scott Livingston, the company's senior vice president of news,

directed stations to have anchors read a script about "fake stories" and "personal bias" plaguing the media.

The script — reminiscent of Fox News' old "fair and balanced" tagline — cast Sinclair's stations as the antidote."

Answer 3

Larry "a child's happiness is priceless... especially on a birthday" Sinclair? Wasn't he Obama's ex-beau?

Answer 4

Sinclair is not bad at honest news because they are conservative/liberal, they are bad at delivering genuine facts and news because of their business model, which does not effectively budget for journalism.

Journalism is expensive, and has no real pay off/ROI, repeating commentary and putting "spin" on previously reported news is virtually free of costs, and has the added benefit of being popular

Answer 5

You are extremely dangerous to our Democracy.

You need to go away, go back to Russia, TROLL!

Answer 7

There is no "right wing Media"

Answer 8

Good, it takes many tries to let the message get thru to ignorance

Answer 9

It's freedom of speech that has been weaponized and now nothing more than propaganda.
