    Uhhh... I think they are way over their weight class, we just are so even-tempered that we are hesitant to engage them. Really, fighting back is the Trump factor, and his election shows we are nearing our fill.

    and for decades that entire system of "information" was monopolized by liberals
    and this is what all the complaining is about. It has nothing to do with so called propaganda but the right finally getting a foothold in the news broadcast industry and threatening the monopoly the left had for decades the ability to control the narrative

    It was up for a week.

    And you should not like the ridiculous bias and wall to wall negative coverage of Trump, but I don't see you leading that front, but misleading it.

    The wall to wall negative coverage of Trump is true. If it weren't, you would have provided linked documentation countering that coverage. The problem with you and the rest of the Trump apologists is, you can't deal with the truth, when that truth is staring down at you. The truth has you and the Right by the ......

    You mean to control the truth, while letting lies control the narrative.

    Answer, the Right want their "fake news" to be the truth. That's why they installed Sinclair.

    like I have mention previously it isn't always what the liberal media reports that makes them fake news it is what they won't report
    the liberal media picks and chooses what they run based on what reinforces their selective narrative

    there was just as much negative news they could have reported on with Obama but they chose not to instead they only reported the positive news doing so to create a false narrative of how great he was

    I didnt hear any or that in their statement nor have any reaon to believe the affiliate stations have a political bias one way or the other. And news anchors don't have to anything against their will they can quit. They are hired to read what the producers instruct them to read. You think the news anchors dictate what will be read and are free to read ans say what they choose while on the air for the owners of the affiliate station?

    It was up for way more than a week. Right wing media flogged the story repeatedly for over a year, as did right wing blogs. Right wingers on this forum still refer to it as if it were gospel fact.

    Trump is the loser that he is portrayed as being. He needs no help from any unsympathetic media.

    The political bias of any affiliate station does not matter when the only political view allowed on their air is the one that eminates from corporate headquarters.

    All the more opressive, since Sinclair ordered local voices to deliver it, in a clearly dishonest attempt to disguse a corporate message as a local one.

    News, information, discussion of issues, needs to return to the way it was handled on radio and television news before FCC regs were killed. By clinton I think. Move back to being required to present both sides of an issue, and give equal time to each. I am sick of the so called news and information services presenting one side, and then repeat, repeat, repeat it in order to condition viewers to the views of MSM, its owners, or the gov't which uses them to spread lies and propaganda.

    You can't be this obtuse.
    The country is kicking ass, but 90% of the coverage is vilifying. His policies are working despite the doom and gloom predictions the MSM spends its days prognosticating. There are studies showing the unequal tratment of Trump vs Obama from places like harvard, but moreover that I would have to explain this **** to you means you are either intentionally wasting my time, or completely blinded by rage and brainwashing.

    Yea check the videos below.

    Leftoid media shares scripts on a regular basis via coordinated efforts with DNC campaigns.

    No I was just remarking on how creepy the video montage was.

    At the time the video was made and was "going viral" it was just a lulz about a bunch of stations (left and right affiliates) reading from a script.

    By the time I had woken up the next morning the leftoid machine had seized on the opportunity to make it anti-Trump anti-Right anti-etc.

    I see you've been fully manipulated by the spin.

    -------------------------------------------
    -------------------------------------------

    I created the original Sinclair script thread because I thought it was creepy not because it was some indication of "fake news".

    But the leftist media has spun it to mean just that (despite their own affiliates participating).

    So if repetition means fake news...

    If different entities following a script means fake news...

    Well then witness the masters of fake news in action...

    What political view was espoused in their statements. And you realize that they own more ABC stations which broadcast ABC News than they own Fox ENTERTAINMENT stations. Sinclaire doesn't own Fox News or any stations that Broadcast it, Fox News is cable only.

    Bump because it's too important to not be on the first page, the deep state alt right needs to be exposed.

    MSM is far more factual and even than the alt right fake news media outlets.
