Who are the real purveyors of 'fake news'? (Sinclair Brod. issue)

I don’t know why Sinclair execs are even defensive about what they are doing. It’s commendable. There should be more of it. Any media organization not wholeheartedly committed to such standards will, through mere momentum, drift left along with the rest of the media culture. The journalist pool is dominated by the left. It has been for many decades. So, if a network seeks to swim against that tide, it must swim hard, consistently, make its standards clear, choose its employees carefully.

I make no apologies as the founder, chief executive officer and editor of WND. We will continue to swim hard against that overwhelming media tide of knee-jerk leftism that dominates our industry. Kudos to Sinclair for doing what it does.

It’s the New York Times and the rest of the media wolf pack who are being dishonest.

Well, not sure how this will go over, but it's another view point of the whole Sinclair Broadcasting kerfuffle. I know it's Joe Farah and WND but here it is anyway.

There’s a conspiracy show on my local public access TV where they simultaneously played a number of employees of Sinclair affiliates reading the corporate statement about fake news, and they tried to use it as evidence that broadcast content is controlled, supplied by, and coordinated by the CIA and Mossad.

Sounds about right. There was a bunch of that I saw on Mrs rktman’s fb page. Govt controlled media proof. The way I interpreted it was Sinclair trying to let their viewers know that they would try to avoid fake news when possible. Others don’t see it that way. Potato-potatoe.

They were playing a youtube video that was discussed in several threads earlier this week.

As a bonafide conspiracy theorist I promise you that the CIA and Mossad are themselves fronts for some other folks.

“National security” is a great cover for conspiracy.

We live in a world of secrets—think of all the documents marked “top secret” or “confidential” by governments around the world.

That is by definition a conspiracy to keep secrets.

Imagine what some sociopaths could do with such a system.

You don’t have to imagine it—you are living in it.
