I don't think it's funny Sinclair is trashing local tv newsConsidering who watches local news, I'm not sure it will make too much of a difference.

[Spurminator]

I've had issues with local news since long before Sinclair started working its way towards a virtual monopoly. Constant crime coverage reinforcing racial prejudice, very little strong coverage of municipal issues.

It's been dumbing people down for decades. But its audience is dying off so fortunately it won't be relevant much longer.

Body counts are always good for ratings. But this is a new low with the terrorism alert desk and the Trump fellation you see on these stations Sinclair owns.

Oh for sure, it's definitely worse and will continue to get worse as they try to hold onto ratings.

One of the stations had 3 anchors, Channel 5/Tegna?, do segment about keeping local news local and not being dictated by, eg, Sinclair stuffing Boris Ephstein up everybody's noses.

or maybe it was 4. Delaine was one of the speakers.

In any case, no doubt that FCC will approve Sinclair taking over 100s more stations as Ministry of Truth part of the oligarchy's coup d'etat

F.C.C. Watchdog Looks Into Changes That Benefited Sinclair

WASHINGTON — Last April, the chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, Ajit Pai, led the charge for his agency to approve rules allowing television broadcasters to greatly increase the number of stations they own. A few weeks later, Sinclair Broadcasting announced a blockbuster $3.9 billion deal to buy Tribune Media — a deal those new rules made possible.

By the end of the year, in a previously undisclosed move, the top internal watchdog for the F.C.C. opened an investigation into whether Mr. Pai and his aides had improperly pushed for the rule changes and whether they had timed them to benefit Sinclair, according to Representative Frank Pallone of New Jersey and two congressional aides.

Sinclair TV Anchor Suddenly Begins Reading News in Russian

https://media.newyorker.com/photos/5ac2af334fabae57e81c24bd/master/w_1298,c_limit/Borowitz-Sinclair-TV-Anchor-Russian.jpg


AKRON, OHIO —Viewers of the Sinclair station in Akron were startled on Monday when a longtime news anchor, Carol Foyler, inexplicably began reading the evening news report in Russian.

Foyler, who is not of Russian heritage, greeted her audience with a hearty “Zdravstvuyte,” and then read the evening’s top stories entirely in her newly adopted language.

After racing through the local coverage, Foyler abruptly

segued to footage of the Russian President, Vladimir Putin, admiring the launch of his nation’s highly touted new Satan-2 missile.

Viewers flooded the station with complaints, with many expressing alarm that, in the words of one audience member, “something was up with Carol.”

“Maybe she’s taking Russian classes in her spare time, or something like that,” Harland Dorrinson, a loyal viewer of the Sinclair station, said.

“Still, it made it really hard to understand the weather.”

Responding to the outpouring of concern about her, Foyler later issued the following English-language statement:

“I am being treated well here. My loved ones need not worry.

MEDIA GIANT SINCLAIR HIRED REPORTER FROM RUSSIAN PROPAGANDA OUTLET RT WHO PRODUCED ‘MUST-RUN’ ‘DEEP STATE’ SEGMENT

The United States' largest owner of television stations, Sinclair Broadcast Group, mandated that its outlets run a segment on the so-called deep state that was produced by a former reporter for the Russian propaganda outlet RT, according to a new report.

The "must-run" piece aired on March 21 and featured Sebastian Gorka, the former adviser to President Donald Trump, lamenting the existence of a deep state—a popular conspiracy theory in some circles that longtime career public servants in the government are working to subvert the U.S. government. Trump has repeatedly complained about such a mysterious rogue network.

Sinclair national correspondent Kristine Frazao produced the segment. Before joining Sinclair in 2013, she was an anchor/correspondent at RT, formerly Russia Today, for more than three years, according to her LinkedIn page. RT is an international television network funded by the Russian government. The Columbia Journalism Review called it "the Kremlin's propaganda outlet."

The problem that I have with the 'fake news' movement is that is sabotages genuine critiques of the mass media. Chomsky and Herman created a masterpiece on propaganda and the American media with "Manufacturing Consent" and it certainly indicted major news outlets or papers, such as The New York Times. Trump does something similar (without the analysis, evidence and research of course), but Trump contradicts himself by replacing one form of propaganda with another. In other words, in typical Trump fashion, he demonstrates his limitless hypocrisy by advocating some of the worst offenders of "fake news". Yes, in the past and even today, outlets such as CNN, MSNBC and papers such as the Washington Post protect the state and its policies by virtue of their select coverage but this has usually been due to the formers' allegiance to corporations as opposed to any state sponsored directives. Sinclair is technically corporate but their ties to Trump are so obvious that, between these broadcasts last night and Trump's deluge of tweets, we got something tantamount to what we would have seen in a dictatorship. Once again, the political spectrum drifts further and further away from any semblance of democracy.

Sinclair TV stations' journalists face expensive penalties if they quit

many wondered why some of the company's journalists didn't just quit.

some Sinclair employees were subject to a liquidated damages clause for leaving before the term of their agreement was up —

one that requires they pay as much as 40% of their annual compensation to the company.

http://www.latimes.com/business/hollywood/la-fi-ct-sinclair-contracts-20180403-story.html#nws=mcnewsletter

but can they be "fired at will" in those same contracts?

Sinclair Journalists Worry They’re Being Watched: ‘There’s A Lot Held Over Us’

The Sinclair Broadcast Group handbook warns employees to have no expectation of privacy in their communications.

Sinclair employees say the company’s culture and behavior have made them particularly mindful of such policies.

“There’s a lot held over us,” a journalist at a Sinclair affiliate told HuffPost on the condition of anonymity. “They pay attention to what websites we’re on.”

The employee added Sinclair monitors its employees’ social media accounts “with a magnifying glass.”

On Tuesday, the TV News website FTLLive published (http://www.ftvlive.com/sqsp-test/2018/4/3/sinclair-employees-ordered-not-to-talk) an internal memo sent by the general manager of Sinclair affiliate KATU in Portland, Oregon, urging his staff to not speak with the press.

“I will also remind you that giving statements to the media or sharing negative information about the company can have huge implications,” Robert Truman, KATU’s general manager, wrote.

Sinclair employees say their parent company often pays especially close attention to its affiliates’ editorial activities,

meddling in how they present their stories and graphics, and

sometimes going so far as to delete offensive comments on an affiliate’s online articles

before that station’s own web editors have a chance to do so.

Critics say the “fake news” statement, which aired on Sinclair affiliates last month and was brought to national attention by a video produced by the sports website Deadspin (https://theconcourse.deadspin.com/how-americas-largest-local-tv-owner-turned-its-news-anc-1824233490), is

another example of a conservative agenda (https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/flint-michigan-sinclair-broadcast-group_us_5a32ae87e4b0e41f9e042428) that the broadcast giant has pursued for over a decade.

Such efforts include promoting favorable coverage of Trump’s 2016 campaign and

requiring affiliates to air conservative commentaries by Boris Epshteyn, a former Trump adviser.
