        John Oliver also did a piece on this, this is very scary because so many people trust local news.

        Live in a market where 2 of the 4 network affiliates are operated by Sinclair. Not pretty. #WhatLiberalMedia

        They can have local broadcasting. Normal people these days choose what to watch. I don't need spoon fed 💩 like Fox. 🤓We got dem brains🎃

        But so many have no clue, like foxers. Don’t even recognize brain-washing.

        I think it's a choice. In this day and age, to only rely on news from one source is rather nutty. They choose it to appease their idiocy
