Interesting, thanks I honestly had not noticed because I watched the video and then extricated myself from youtube. 8>)

I watched the whole thing. And while the opening of the segment seems to a conservative to be parodying the MSM in having multiple news stations all saying the same thing, “extremely dangerous to our democracy” - which sounds like lib speak for sure - the burden of the entire piece is a claim that Sinclair broadcasting is swallowing up local TV news and forcing all those outlets to become conservative.

We are solemnly assured that the Trump FCC is subverting the oh-so-pure-and-independent rules which will result in no one getting local news that is not Sinclair and not conservative. And one other thing - it notifies us that many more people trust local TV news than trust national TV news. Hence and ipso facto, then, it is a crisis if local TV news is conservative.

I have a news flash of my own for PBS (the “P” stands for “public” - but in this case as in so many others, the word “public” is a euphemism for government).

FLASH

YOU MISTAKE EFFECT FOR CAUSE IF YOU ASSUME THAT CONSERVATIVE LOCAL NEWS IS TRUSTED BECAUSE IT IS LOCAL.

IF LOCAL NEWS IS TRUSTED IT WOULD BE BECAUSE IT IS CONSERVATIVE.

PBS insinuates that the national news is independent - but that has not been the case since the advent of the Associated Press.

Nice use of language there, spoiled only by misspelling the second word in. LOL

I don’t do spell check. It’s for sissies. I can shoulder the burden of my errors myself.

OK, learn how to spell then. Otherwise, you look stupid.
