When you’re caught peddling fake news...

Post by sinklair » Sun Jul 26, 2020 9:37 am

It’s hard to believe that 25-66’s parent company — Sinclair Broadcast Group — keeps it’s FCC license.

This week it was forced to cancel a segment on Fox castoff Eric Bolling’s America This Week when he tried peddling debunked conspiracy theories that Dr. Anthony Fauci “created” the COVID-19 virus.

25-66 and other Sinclair stations received tons of phone calls and emails blasting the program. This company is a joke... it’s management is a joke... and do are any claims that we are anything but a Trump mouthpiece heading into a national election.

How about the Associated Press? Do you believe them?

You are beyond help. Contact Sinclair and they will tell you that the episode was not shown. Get a grip!

Update: Sinclair now says it has no plans to re-air the segment... after initially saying it was merely delaying it.

https://www.cnn.com/2020/07/27/media/si ... index.html

Another flip flop and black eye for our so-called national “news team”.

Instead of #fireFauci, maybe viewers should demand to #fireBolling or #fireLivingston

Midland:

NOPE, not going to contact some Corporate individual. The company is too vast to know where and who to get a hold of the right people. Next, maybe it is YOU that needs help. You can't come up with anything concrete facts, only offering Hollywood Tabloid crap, as some sort factual content. Dr Phil can help you.
Troll much?

I don't believe Sinclair should lose it's license just because there conservative broadcaster. They got fined for not being truthful about the Tribune merger paying $48 Million fine along with paying Nexstar $60 Million and selling a TV station to Nexstar to settle the lawsuit that Tribune sued Sinclair, which Nexstar just wanted to settle and be done with it.

Another example of how Sinclair slants it’s National reports through intentional obfuscation:

Instead of challenging or providing additional context surrounding the story, 25-66 aired this misleading reports. Another example of why the In Over Her Head News Director is just holding water for the political agenda of Scott Livingston/David Smith and needs to go...

Our viewers deserve better...
