Right wing Gray TV buys Atlanta's CBS46

[Cattledog]

Foxification begins. This is how the right creeps its ideology into local media.

1. Just watched their promo video on their website and

no dem politicians included but they did show Trump, Pence, Cruz, McConnell, & Paul. I won't be watching anymore.

2. Doubt they will try to foxify CBS46 in Atlanta unless they want to lose money.

3. CBS is on a UHF frequency there?

That’s odd. But, when it came to politics, Sinclair pulled something similar here in Seattle when it took over the ABC affiliate and started force-feeding us news specials on how Seattle had become a “hellhole” of criminals and violent homeless drug addicts, all because of “woke” progressives.

4. They own both the CBS and NBC affiliates here.

Both channels air the same local news at the same time. They both air the same horrific tweener girl screeching the national anthem twice a day. She makes my ears bleed. Needless to say, I watch the local ABC affiliate for my local news, or the local Fox affiliate, which is actually fairly neutral. And, has the best weatherman in town.

Looking at the Wikipedia page for this company, their owning both the NBC and ABC affiliates is not uncommon. It's the case in multiple cities. It SHOULD be illegal, but here we are...
