CW 46 Trump Town Hall

Post by sinklair » Sat Oct 17, 2020 1:58 am

In his non-stop effort to find a friendly forum, President Trump will sit down with Sinclair lackey Eric Bolling next Wednesday:

https://deadline.com/2020/10/donald-tru ... 234599080/

The town hall with the Spreader in Chief will air on Flint’s CW 46... a day before he’s scheduled to participate in the final presidential debate with former VP Joe Biden.

You can bet that Bolling will firmly have his lips planted on Trump’s ample butt and won’t ask any tough questions or challenge Trump’s statements.

Just like 4 years ago Sinclair’s Vice President of “News” Scott Livingston says they’ve invited Biden to a similar town hall (LOL)... just like they did with Hillary, despite arrangements with Sinclair stations to prominently feature Trump in friendly corporate must-run propaganda.

Just watch 25-66-46 warm up the a Trump Train promotion. The new GM, ASSistant GM/Promotions Director and In Over Her Head News Director will set aside any journalistic ethics!

Wonder if Eric will press Trump on past sexual misconduct allegations? That might hit too close to home for Bolling...

Bolling doesn’t have any credibility as an impartial journalist. He’s been a key spreader of COVID 19 misinformation. Even Sinclair has had to correct several of his lies:

WBSF CW 46 would be better off as an ATSC 3.0 “lighthouse” station, ASAP.

600kW of wasted power airing the same damn channels as WEYI NBC 25. Certainly one of the dumber decisions I have seen from a broadcaster, but fully expected from the likes of Sinclair.

I'm not going to watch the town hall as I didn't watch neither last Thur which was softballs to Biden and tough on Trump which I thought a townhall was for the people to ask questions? And not the moderator which Samatha Gurthrie made it about herself with 20 question to the crowd only got 10 questions only which should be the other way around. And I'm not going to watch the final debate either as I didn't watch the first debate either as I'd rather watch paint dry.

I'm surprised that Sinclair isn't going to air it on Big 4 that Sinclair owns and why it's only airing on CW & MyNet TV stations only that Sinclair owns. It will air on CW7 on Wed in West Michigan.

If either candidate can’t handle some tough questions, they don’t deserve to run for the nation’s highest office. It’s ridiculous that in a company the size of Sinclair that they can’t get a real journalist instead of a hack like Eric Bolling to conduct this town hall. It’ll be all anti-Biden and softball questions with no challenges to Trump’s record — just like his previous interviews — which is why Trump probably agreed to do it. But it won’t get any ratings nor will it get much coverage outside Sinclair’s stations which will be required to run a “must run” corporate propaganda. And of course 25-66-46’s In Over Her Head News Director will fall in line like a lemming.

Sinclair is clearly trying to “Swift Boat” Biden by using a Fox network flunkee to moderate this faux town hall.

https://www.ftvlive.com/sqsp-test/2020/ ... oadcasting

And if Bolling can’t get basic facts right, he and his Executive Producer should be fired... otherwise Sinclair shows its hand that it has ceased being a reliable news source.

The new GM and the In Over Her Head News Director should refuse to sir these programs until changes are made. That won’t happen because they have their heads to far up corporate’s butt.

Like Dave Bondy, I’m just “Keepin’ it Real”!

Sinclair can’t even run stations right. Duplication of channels on WEYI and WBSF, a 2 year WAY overdue upgrade of WNWO in Toledo.

Incompetence.

Ypsi Guy agreed .. as for toledo here is a little comedic opinion of how sinclair treated 'NWO
Sinclair: "We will spend a ton of money to upgrade the station and improve WNWO 24 NEWS, we believe in the product"
WNWO: YAYYYYYY!!
months later....
Sinclair: We will be gutting the news department and moving it to our South Bend, Indiana station, with only some reporters and the weather based in Toledo to make the viewer believe its still done in Toledo, they wont know the difference.
WNWO: [censored]
WNWO Viewers: *crickets chirp* lets watch 'TVG

More details... Sinclair is using the White House for this election “town hall” — pretty sure that breaks some federal laws about not using federal property for election activities.

Yet the White House still won’t say who has come down with COVID-19 at a time when they are inviting the public in to ground zero of the pandemic.

Then Bolling tweets out that he’s going to announce in advance of the town hall the topics/questions he plans to ask. Who does that? No real journalist. The person being interviewed never should have the opportunity to veto any question or topic. This is a Trump infomercial. The new 25-66 GM and the In Over Her Head News Director should refuse to air this campaign propaganda. Have a real journalist do a real interview.

We get daily emails, phone calls, and social media comments from viewers calling us biased. And then our company only reinforces it by airing this town hall filled with softball questions hosted by a partisan hack.

The response from 25-66 management? Crickets.

My company is run by idiots.

Decided to get some late local news last night after the game on 25. First five minutes was nothing but the national election, and then they ran that inane 86 45 talking point that Trump's people are trying to elevate into a controversy.
When I was in retail there was a little printed homily about the man who doesn't come back.
He doesn't complain to the help.
He doesn't ask for the manager.
He doesn't call headquarters.
He just never walks into that store again.
In the same spirit, I opened up my channel menu and deleted 25-1.

WTVG is a very good local. Hard, impartial news with good weather.

The best use for WBSF will be as an ATSC 3.0 “lighthouse” station. Then it will run programming in ATSC 3.0 for other REAL stations.
