Sinclair Broadcast Group Under Fire for Pushing ‘Propaganda’ on Local News

[exGOPer]

Who’s Afraid of Sinclair Broadcast Group? John Oliver

The Right is gaining more platforms to deliver its take on the news, and this trend is posing a danger to the historically unbiased, nonpartisan, straight-down-the-middle reporting of the major media. Who says so? Why, John Oliver.

His fans are right: He has a gift for irony. Oliver was so exercised Sunday night that he delivered a flustered 19-minute tirade on the Sinclair Broadcast Group, which is in the process, pending regulatory approval, of acquiring 42 local TV stations from Tribune Co. Oliver calculates that Sinclair will, after the merger, command the broadcasting power of 215 local stations whose most-watched evening newscasts, he says, reach a combined 2.2 million people. “And that is a lot!” Oliver says, although it actually isn’t, unless you think six-tenths of 1 percent of the country is a lot of the country. Sinclair is, moreover, hardly the only media outfit competing for attention from those 2.2 million people, but cue hysteria about corporate mind control.

So the Nazi Review wants more propaganda, next you will tell me that they love Goebbels tactics as well. Got anything else other than a Nazi supporting rag?

ABC, CBS, and NBC all do the same thing and yet the left does not even bring it up.

Great, show me reporting where these networks FORCED local stations to run political hit pieces disguised as 'news'

Generally when we want to see how Nazi's operate we tune into MSNBC.

Well it starts with their evening news broadcast segments that are inserted into local news in a mandatory manner.

I showed you how Sinclair is pushing NON NEWS as news and your counter is that the evening news broadcast segments? Really?

Citation needed when a higher up forced a local channel to run blatant political hit-pieces as news.

You don't need a citation to see it first hand, just flip the channel to your local ABC, CBS or NBC every night.

Quit this, show me a citation, when you're shit's mostly conjecture and opinion.

So you got nothing other than your own projection, thought so.

I asked for specific examples where NON-NEWS and FAKE NEWS was FORCED to be run as news segments by a 'liberal' higher up, you provide no examples at all as expected. Surely you would have plenty of examples if what you say is such a common occurence.

Yeah well hit pieces on everything conservative provided by the corporate entity and inserted into the the local newscast every evening is not news -- it is liberal propaganda.

Do you think that local newscasts willing cover national issues every evening with slanted pieces provided by their network owners? Especially when the same segments are just effectively re-played in the network national news segment played in the following half hour.

That's what you say - you also linked to a fake 'peer reviewed' paper and thought it was legit, how can I take your judgement seriously when you can't tell the difference over such simple things.

YAWN!

The crap spewed out by the MSM and regurgitated down is the reason FOX's ratings have increased.

Much better things to do with my time than wasting forum space proving to you what the world already knows.
