Just watched a local broadcast from Columbus not one mention of Jim Jordan

This is why Sinclair is so dangerous it's just local news with a few minutes of right wing quack it's subtle and much more dangerous and they own all the stations in a lot of swing state markets it was on the onnews app

to various repukes, some relatives of mine, and they have no clue what I'm talking about. The only news they know is Fox and the local yokel nightly fluff stuff.

Oh wait, there was but someone in the FCC changed it. I guess you’re only left with NBC and CBS

That said, I live in California and the Sinclair stations are in the Central Valley where all the stupid rethugs live. It is chemical alley out there with a lot of dumb ass people. I drive though there pretty quickly when I go to Southern California or to visit my mother in law in Arizona.

The other two are almost as bad. Local news is dead to me with their content and their endless "We LOOOVE you and we help you!" endless self-promotion. The national news channels are right on their heels as far as being on "probation" in my house.
