It goes back to Geraldine Ferraro being named as Mondale’s running mate.

Reporters bombarded her with real questions and expecting hard answers, and a flustered Ferraro cried out “Why are you doing this? I am one of you!”.

Every Dem has been given the Kennedy treatment ever since.

Eric Bolling, host of Sinclair’s America This Week

On his Sinclair program America This Week, Bolling repeatedly downplayed the coronavirus pandemic, suggesting media outlets were needlessly inciting panic and calling for a full reopening.

They are owned and controlled by the Democrat party. Is that being held hostage? Would they rather be free to support Trump?

A chilling video featuring local news anchors of stations owned by the conservative television empire Sinclair Broadcast Group across the country reciting a script warning of “biased and false news” — word for word — went viral over the weekend.

The video has again stirred concerns about the reach of Sinclair, which owns or operates nearly 200 television stations across the country, and about its pro-Trump bias disguised in what many unassuming viewers may believe to be run-of-the-mill local news.

The original idea - to make lazy and somewhat corrupt journalists - the favorites by giving them 'insider edge' has worked beyond democrat's wildest dreams.

MSM downsizing means those with the 'best connections' survived the cuts... and who would that be? The journalists democrats had targeted with their insider 'intelligence' reports. A man like David Ignatius (just a guess) or a Bob Woodward type could WOW the news world without breaking a sweat...

then it started spreading. ..

Soon it was airhead bimbos and silly pretentious men speaking like the most insightful poli-sci Harvard geek... but sadly, as lazy and stupid does - not bothering even to put the talking points into their own words.

So from morning to night Washington's and New York's press 'elite' mouth the words of white liberal 'elites' sitting in democrat strategic war rooms... 'Journalists' - too stupid and lazy to do the jobs they were hired to do. But the advantage of shallow people is they're easy to control and easier to replace... Off the plantation? Bye bye....

“From a market perspective, there is no reason for 85% of the media outlets to all compete for a political demographic that is far less than half the population.”

The “market perspective” only matters to those whose primary concern is making money.

If you are already a billionaire, that’s probably not your primary concern.

“Trump’s administration is “cleaning” the CIA”

It’s several decades too late for that approach to work. The real dirty stuff doesn’t happen under any official capacity at the CIA. You won’t find any record of it in their archives, any line item for it in their budgets, or any official CIA employees assigned to these projects. They are completely “dark”, beyond any oversight by the rest of the government.

I think you are correct. A few years back Glen Beck announced he was visited by some lawyers.

More recently a local talk show host used language inconsistent with his normal language that led me to believe he had been visited.

The Podesta emails were the Rosetta stone explaining the media bias.

Key owners and senior managers of media outlets are pedophiles, and they are being blackmailed.

***All these different channels delivering identical "warnings"***

As you know, I worked in network TV news back when. I at least respected our reporter's and news staff. I am shocked to see & hear these folk just mindlessly parrot the exact same words, exact same interpretations. They cannot even re-style the script a little to their own flavor. I have lost all respect for names I used to listen to.

Thank God for the web and independent journalists!

That 'mockingbird' vid has a better, longer, more surreal red-pill
version which shows SIX parroting segments right up until:
"This is extremely dangerous to our Democracy."

Link to 8m vid: Sinclair long version


A LONG version: 8:31


Part 1
"A childs happiness is priceless, especially on her birthday..."

Part 2 -
"Economic factors may take some spring out of the easter bunnies step this year..."

Part 3 -
"Mike Meyers says: 'yeah, baby' "

Part 4 -
"conan o'brien may be about to push the envelope on late night television..."

Part 5 -
"I scream you scream... you know the rest"

Part 6 -
"You don't need us to tell you that gas prices are back on the rise..."

Part 7 -
"the sharing of bias and false news has become all too common on social media..."

This is extremely dangerous to our LOCAL NEWS


Sinclair long version
