Sinclair hires only the worst people

Post by sinklair » Sat Dec 04, 2021 1:46 am

It seems Sinclair’s HR and corporate news staff need to stop hiring some of the very worst people.

Sinclair touted the hiring of Lara Logan to help cover President Trump’s building of the wall along the US’s southern border. She was supposed to ask the “tough questions” but instead just became another PR leg for Sinclair’s conservative owners.

Now Logan has taken her freak show on the road and is being criticized for recent comments comparing Dr. Fauci to the Nazis.

This is the problem with modern day journalism. Opinions have zero place in reporting by so-called journalists. But even by most standards, this type of hyperbole only does damage to the journalism industry which already is near record lows of public trust.

Lara Logan was only at Sinclair for one hot minute not very before she went to Fox. I disagree with her about Dr. Fruadci which he needs to go since he has lied so many times and flipped and flopped so many times as well. Dr. Fruadci is an attention whore as well along and fame for his inflated ego and is hardcore COVID porn. Just need fresh blood when it comes to COVID and I have stopped listening to Dr. Fruadci for a couple of months in COVID.

Sinclair national correspondent James Rosen is jumping ship to work at NewsMax.

https://www.wtva.com/news/national/news ... 399ba.html

So let me get this right, NewsMax fires one correspondent due to airing false information only to hire Rosen, who has also made a career of spreading false information… and sexually harassing women at Fox News.

Good hire, NewsMax!

The Poynter article linked above wrote:During a conversation claiming the Biden administration was overhyping the recently-discovered omicron variant of COVID-19, Logan said on the “Fox News Primetime” opinion show, “What you see on Dr. Fauci — this is what people say to me: that he doesn’t represent science to them. He represents Josef Mengele. Dr. Josef Mengele, the Nazi doctor who did experiments on Jews during the Second World War and in the concentration camps. And I am talking about people all across the world are saying this, because the response from COVID, what it has done to countries everywhere, what it has done to civil liberties, the suicide rates, the poverty, it has obliterated economies. The level of suffering that has been created because of this disease is now being seen in the cold light of day.”
The context in the quote above from the Poynter article appears to indicate that Logan was merely conveying what she had heard from others, not necessarily her spouting an opinion, outlandish as the comparison between Fauci and Mengele may be.

Sooooo…. “Journalists” don’t have to check facts anymore? We can just spread rumors?

Wow, I’ve been doing it wrong all this time and working waaaay too hard.

“The top story tonight on Fox 66 News at 10… I heard that a pregnant man gave birth to a 100-pound baby extraterrestrial who crossed into Flint via the Rio Grand River via a hoverboard. Full details on this exclusive breaking news story after a Fox 66 news investigation into the fire that destroyed the entire town of Bad Axe following a Sweet 16 birthday party. And Ahmad Bajjey with details of a sharknado that’s guaranteed to hit Pinconning.”

And now it has fired one of the worst...


What's more pathetic: harassing an old man who is paying to do a radio show or supporting a grifter like Trump?
