> Local television stations owned by the Sinclair Broadcast Group
As soon as I read the headline I knew it would be them.
Be careful. Your local station, that you might trust, may have been bought by them.

- ShamelessC 6y agoJohn Oliver did a good bit on them on Last Week Tonight, including dozens of supposedly local news stations repeating the exact same Sinclair script verbatim. Highly recommend. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvtNyOzGogc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvtNyOzGogc
- jakeogh 6y agoMedia coordination is only slightly more advanced when we go "up" one level. Same talking points; they just bother to reword them or use more effective (and hence deceptive) psychological techniques. Mr. Oliver knows this, he is an integrated part of pretending his friends are being honest with their viewers. Consider watching CNN a year in the past, or any major 'news' source. Most of what they say is false, or worse. http://v6y.net/ownership.jpg http://v6y.net/ownership.jpg https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16352498 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16352498
- ShamelessC 6y agoI disagree but I doubt debate over it would be very interesting on HN.
