Trying to Swift Boat Joe

Post by sinklair » Mon Nov 02, 2020 2:54 am

Back in 2004, Sinclair ran a documentary aimed at undermining John Kerry’s presidential campaign that included unsubstantiated claims about his military service.

This time around, Sinclair is going back to the same well by forcing it’s local TV stations to run one-sided propaganda about Joe Biden by questioning the “rumored” dealings of his son, Hunter. Here are some of the must-run stories the In Over Her Head News Director has placed in our newscasts recently:

Not sure when it became OK for us to air and published based on unsubstantiated rumors...

But if that’s the new standard that the company is OK with from Fox News flunkies like James Rosen and Eric Bolling, then why isn’t there any stories about the business conflicts of interest with President Trump and his children running the Trump Organization?

It’s simple... the head of Sinclair, David Smith and VP of “News” Scott Livingston don’t care about what’s true or fair coverage. They only want to smear Joe Biden in the days leading up to the election with rumors. And 25-66’s new GM and her In Over Her Head News Director are just lemmings following the company’s orders without discernment over what’s true anymore.

If you need more evidence about the dangers of corporate consolidation of local news organizations here is exhibit #4839...

An industry website that also is criticizing Sinclair’s one track mind...

Have you noticed that most other media is slanting in FAVOR of Biden? Not one of those pricks care about democracy. The media is at the heart of the division of the country, and they seem to revel in it.

DAC: which media are you referring to? Fox, OAN, NewsMax, Sinclair? There’s enough sympathetic media to get the President’s message out there.

However, that’s not the point. The news media shouldn’t be pro-Trump or pro-Biden. It should report facts and drop the commentary.

However, Sinclair is using its local stations to push the political agenda of its owner, David Smith and his one black friend, Armstrong Willians.

And the new GM and her In Over Her Head News Director are unwilling to do what’s right to create a bias-free newscast.
