Conservative or not they are parrots. Why didn’t then do an actual news story about the problem with examples. Mindlessly parroting a script about how dangerous this is for our democracy puts them in NPC mode AFAIC.
You sound like CNN and CBS talking about the announcement.
Sinclair Broadcast Group is not as well-known a name in television as Fox News’s News Corp. or CNN’s Turner Broadcasting System, but its reach may rival that of a cable juggernaut.
The company is the largest owner of local television stations in the country, with 173 stations in 81 broadcast markets that stretch from coast to coast and just about everywhere in between, at a time when local news outpaces national news outlets both in overall viewership and trust. About 85 percent of Americans trust local news outlets, more than the 77 percent for family or friends, according to the Pew Research Center.
But a stunning video that showcased its anchors reading required scripts that seemed to parrot one of President Trump’s favorite themes has drawn renewed scrutiny to what critics consider the media conglomerate’s years-long effort to inject conservative-tinged coverage into local markets.
Trump said Sinclair ‘is far superior to CNN.’ What we know about the conservative media giant.
