they were ticked they even had to read the script. John oliver did a a really good segment on it a while ago, and showed this very thing sunday night and how the messages were coming from
its beyond creepy.
as if we didn't already have problems with the media's relationship with its viewers to begin with, having the largest media corp force its local outlets to read a script parroting Trump's own attacks on the media only further proves that Trump and his allies are hell bent on making media outlets nothing more than state propaganda news stations that work for him.
i encourage everyone to read up on the Sinclair corp. enlighten yourselves, because its only gonna get worse.
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”
I found myself at our local NBC affiliate about 3 weeks ago, a rarity for me. They were going to air a filler about us at the end of the 5:30 local segment. Just before our spot, they aired an extreme right op-ed by some dude I'd never seen before.
Turns out, it was Sinclair content out of South Bend, IN. Budgetary cutbacks saw the layoffs of much of the on-air staff, with more and more content being outsourced. It was the strangest local news program I'd ever seen. Found out they were snatched up by Sinclair in 2016.
Yes, creepy.
and yes... the John Oliver joint was dead on-point.

The guy who got tricked into believing that Obama held a military coup because he read it on a virus-infested website called "realnewsrightnow" weighs in on media bias.
“Thank you to Rasmussen for the honest polling. Just hit 50%, which is higher than Cheatin’ Obama at the same time in his Administration,” Trump tweeted.
Onward and Upward Mr.President, step by step by step.
Where have you been the last several years? Sinclair has been doing stuff like this for a while. They have had there stations running mandatory company editorial for a while now. This is why I don't believe this liberal media stuff. Having all these local stations do what you say is pretty powerful.
Conservatives are getting creepier and creepier the longer trump is in office.

There is no level low enough for the far right. What the hell has happened to real conservatives and real Christians on the right? How long can they stay silent?

Well, every time I post about conservatives, or Christians, I get attacked, labeled, etc.

If you had the slightest clue of Conservatism or Christianity, you would be able to answer that question for yourself, correctly.

Can you show me where the Bible states to stick a hot poker up a minor’s ass?
I must’ve missed that commandment from god.

Obviously you haven't been following the thread. They found a right wing nut saying something mean and stupid and wish to label it as a common theme among the GOP. Just like you do with Democrats.

Or, do you, and others, consider me 'far right'?
Not really Arch. I like to give you a rash of crap every now and then, but I don't consider you 'Far Right' or 'Alt Right'. But I do consider some of the company you keep on here to be those things.

See, that is a huge part of the problem.
And truthfully, I don't see it happening as much with the people talking about dems.
What I DO see is a lot of "ya'll conservatives", "ya'll republicans" "Ya'll Christians", and then derogatory stuff following each of those.
It gets old. Assuming that I, as a conservative, or Christian, or whatever.......like and endorse everything said or done by others in my label.
It's like "Oh, you voted for trump", "Oh, you're a Christian", "oh, you did this..." so you support everything from that person or group or whatever.
Like I said, it gets old.
I didn't read the article, but apparently some FOX news person, or some conservative, or some republican, or some Christian said something about putting a hot poker up someone's rear?
And somehow, some idiots twist that into me supporting or endorsing that?
They should be careful of doing things like that. Those people aren't here for discussion. And further, give me any dem, lib, atheist, etc - and I can find someone with the same label that is disgusting. Would it be fair of me to label all then?
I simply think you aren't looking for it in the other direction. Like I said arch, both sides do it and they do it a LOT! Until you're ready to admit it's a two way street I think you're looking at thing from a bias viewpoint.

As a conservative and a Christian, I will answer for my own beliefs, I will, indirectly answer for the politicians that I elected (or failed to elect), I will even answer for the leaders of my faith THAT I CHOOSE TO SUPPORT.. I will not, however, answer for some no name self-professed conservative radio shock jock from St. Louis that I had never heard of until he lost his freaking mind.
