The Trump Channel

Post by sinklair » Wed Aug 12, 2020 9:09 pm

4 years ago, Donald Trump’s son-in-law was caught peddling influence by saying 25-66 parent company Sinclair Broadcast Group was guaranteeing favorable coverage in exchange of access to the Republican candidate.

Well it seems now that the President is trailing Joe Biden in Trump’s re-election campaign, Sinclair is forcing its stations to air more one-sided softball “must run” interviews from disgraced former FOX Network commentator Eric Bolling.

Can we just get rid of the lame “Mid-Michigan NOW” rebranding and call us “The Trump Channel”? At least it would be accurate. We hardly cover Mid-Michigan anymore. Plus most of our coverage is less now and more ripped off from M-Live hours later.

It seems like the In Over Her Head News Director and newbie GM have no backbone or journalistic credibility/independence.

You are ripping off mlive or mlive is ripping off you? I'm confused by that statement. Mlive is absolute garbage. $10/month for THAT shit? GFY...


Voting for Trump is dumber than playing Russian Roulette with fully loaded chambers.
