Sinclair says it wont air Fauci conspiracy theory segment
By DAVID BAUDER
July 27, 2020
NEW YORK (AP) The Sinclair Broadcast Group says it will not air a segment on its America This Week program in which a conspiracy theorist speculates about Dr. Anthony Fauci and the coronavirus.
Over the weekend, Sinclair said it was delaying the story for a week after it attracted media attention.
But in a tweet late Monday, Sinclair said that given the nature of Judy Mikovits claims to correspondent Eric Bolling, the segment was not appropriate to air.
We also reiterate our appreciation for all that Dr. Fauci and his team have accomplished for the health and well-being of Americans and people worldwide, said Sinclair. The company owns local television stations in 81 markets across the country.
Mikovits, maker of the widely debunked Plandemic video, had told Bolling that she believed Fauci, the nations top infectious-disease expert, had manufactured the virus that causes COVID-19 and shipped it to China.

OP
Bolling was made to look like a prize monkey, and that quack and her "lawyer" look even dumber.
Here's hoping this gets Bolling fired from Sinclair too.

If the honest media keeps rubbing their noses in the doodoo they try to send out to their stations as "news segments", they will find that their Prime Bullshit Factory was not worth the price they paid to get it.
