This month, Sinclair Broadcast Group has flooded a vast network of local news websites with misleading articles suggesting that President Biden is mentally unfit for office. The articles are based on specious social media posts by the Republican National Committee (RNC), which are then repackaged to resemble news reports. The thinly disguised political attacks are then syndicated to dozens of local news websites owned by Sinclair, where they are given the imprimatur of mainstream media brands, including NBC, ABC, and CBS.
Iirc, either the Colbert report or John Oliver did a story on Sinclair owned stations and how anchors were forced to read prepared stories that were obviously right leaning propaganda.
That was definitely a segment on Last Week Tonight.
and the echo of each news person as a new row of them was added to the chorus started to hurt my ears. was a great segment
