Good. Sinclair ought to be in every market not to be pro-Trump but to be OBJECTIVE. Make the local network affiliates be shown for the liberal lackeys that they are.

To help refute some of the charges against Sinclair, Here are some FACTS:

“Rita then moves on from her poorly-informed attack of my work to attack the company I work for: Sinclair.

As for her objection to “Must Run” that Sinclair sends stations it owns (another talking point being furthered by major national talk shows and publications courtesy of Sinclair’s competitors), Rita lacks the talking points and context to understand that the equivalent of “Must Runs” are sent by the national networks (much larger than Sinclair) every day to all of their stations in the form of programming they “Must Run.”

For example, every ABC station in the country “Must Run” ABC This Week with George Stephanopoulos every Sunday. I like George and I like the program. But that’s an entire hour of programming led by a Democratic operative, Clinton campaign official and Obama supporter—who continued that job even when Hillary ran for President.”

Sinclair Broadcasting tends to conservative. They, like every other broadcasting network, have ‘national news’ spots that they want their corporate employee news readers to broadcast as part of the news. Kind of like the internal news releases that Proctor and Gamble or any other corporation disseminates to their facilities across the nation for personnel managers to communicate to employees.

What would happen if all individual McDonalds, for instance, decided to create their own menus, or institute practices contrary to corporate credo, but still demanded on being fully funded by corporate McDonalds? Or if the factories that produce DAWN dishwashing liquid, say, each made it with different ingredients in spite of the corporate recipe?

Everybody wants to break their contracts these days. Corporate America, and civil courts in America, are built on the trust contracts provide. Who’s behind the drive to destroy that trust?

I love my Prez, but I wish he’d stayed out of this one, or at least simply tweeted, “See? FOX isn’t so far to the right if it’s saying the same thing as CBS, ABC, and NBC.”

Can't Conservatives make a montage of the MSM saying the same words about TRUMP? I remember seeing something like the Sinclair one but on the MSM

Until Comcast and Disney are held accountable for their malicious MSM properties, nothing will change.
