Sinclair Broadcast Group is "National TrumpTV"

[MineralMan]

I remember watching Soviet TV news broadcasts on my little PAL TV when I was stationed in Turkey. Identical programming was shown on all stations in the Soviet Union. Everything was scripted.

Now Sinclair Broadcast Group is scripting news broadcasts for its stations, as well. At the same time, Trump is constantly damning ABC, CBS, NBC and CNN as "fake news."

We're on the road toward a nationalized propaganda network as the only official news source.

Things are not progressing well, I think.

1. If only it was trump . But imo, it is much worse . Total RW propaganda

3. It is important to acknowledge the role of unfettered capitalism..

I don't for a minute believe, xenophobia, racism or right wing religious values are their real goals. Their real goals are to amass more wealth and more unrestrained power in the 1% oligarchy. The wealth they are accumulating is allowing them to actually purchase free speech as a commodity.

5. Yes xenophobia, racism or right wing religious values are thier propaganda tools to divide and

true, they are merely buying free speech not providing a platform for it

Trump tv could crash and burn in time but this propaganda is for the long term hearts and minds of the country to be manipulated for thier interest$

2. We've had one for awhile, Fox News

Although Sinclair is certainly more blatent about it. There should be someway to counter them. Maybe start a Twitter/social media campaign against them. Worked for Russia. Seems to be working for the Parkland kids. Maybe it would work for us?

4. Well, most Fox Network local stations do actual

local news that isn't scripted. I don't watch our local Fox affiliate, except when all the other network affiliates are delayed on weekends by sports broadcasts that run overtime. When I do, though, the local news coverage is not heavily slanted.
