Sinclair Requires TV Stations to Air Segments That Tilt to the Right

This Is What a Pro-Trump Local News Monopoly Would Look Like

This is Sinclair sending out talking points to their stations. MSM may be mostly liberal, but Sinclair dominates the local News market.

Just bow down to your corporate masters and get it over with. We keep letting monopoly after monopoly grow and form until just a few major corporations control the vast majority of what you see and hear. Since half of you just trust whatever crap they spew at you it works out very well for them.


You can't fix stupid but you can destroy ignorance. When you destroy ignorance you remove the justifications for evil. If you want to destroy evil then educate our people. Hate is a tool of the stupid to deal with what they can't understand.

This is why you need to do your due diligence with regard to any story you see on the news....gather all the info you can and make your own judgement on what's going on...

Reuters reporter takes heat for sitting on Beto O’Rourke hacker story until after Senate race against Cruz

Reuters is facing ethical questions after admitting that reporter Joseph Menn sat on an unfavorable story about media darling Beto O’Rourke until after his crucial Senate race against Ted Cruz.

Reuters published its report Friday on the “Cult of the Dead Cow,” a famous group of hackers credited with inventing the term “hacktivism,” and revealed that now-2020 presidential candidate O'Rourke was a member. The group is responsible for a variety of shady activity like stealing credit card numbers to pay for long-distance telephone service, violating copyright laws and hacking into computers, according to the report, which stressed that O'Rourke himself never "engaged in the edgiest sorts of hacking activity."

Another important thing to consider....

Why do these news programs read you the news?

Do they really have your best interest at heart?

While I believe this is pretty much correct, only three of those six entities actually own a vast majority of our news content.

That certainly would explain all of those news stations having the same talking point in the original post.
