Sinclair Broadcast Group is accusing the our side of ..."irresponsible, one sided news stories plaguing our country"...You must read the entire story to find out that they are attacking us, and that this is a right wing organization that supports Trump. It is ugly, but Sinclair owns the largest group of local stations across the nation. And the article states it will get much larger if it completes its purchase of the Tribune group.

from the article:

Local newscasts nationwide last week decried “fake” and “one-sided” reporting by reading from a shared script written by one of the most powerful broadcasters in America.

The so-called “must run” script, which local stations owned by Sinclair Broadcast Group were required to read, according to several reports, blasts “the troubling trend of irresponsible, one sided news stories plaguing our country.”

“The sharing of biased and false news has become all too common on social media,” the script continues, according to a copy published Friday by the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.

“More alarming, some media outlets publish these same fake stories… stories that just aren’t true, without checking facts first,” an anchor adds, according to the script. Another anchor continues: “Unfortunately, some members of the media use their platforms to push their own personal bias and agenda to control ‘exactly what people think’…This is extremely dangerous to a democracy.”

Sinclair Broadcast Group owns more television stations than any other broadcaster in the country, and stands to spread its influence even more if the Justice Department and Federal Communications Commission approve a massive merger with Tribune Media.

“At my station, everyone was uncomfortable doing it,” one unnamed television anchor at a Sinclair Broadcast Group-owned station told CNN earlier this month, referring to the “one-sided news” script.

“They’re certainly not happy about it,” an unnamed KOMO employee told the Post-Intelligencer Friday, referring to their colleagues.

The Philadelphia Inquirer collected video of four separate Sinclair-owned Pennsylvania news stations — WHP, WJAC, WOLF and WJAC — reading the script on March 23, March 23, March 24 and March 28, respectively.

1. They must be talking about....

FOX News! They're the only media outlet that creates one-sided stories out of thin air. ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, BBC America et al. report facts, and stories that contain at least a kernel of truth, no matter what they blossom into later.

Sinclair is going to be a H U G E problem. Getting unbiased reporting and cold, hard facts is going to be nearly impossible in local rural areas, because all they're going to get are right-wing propaganda from Sinclair. They already have FOX for that on a national level, now they want to jam the airwaves with right-wing propaganda on the local level as well.

Thank Dog we had the FCC watching over this, or we might have a real problem on our hands!
