      (This is what the coordinated campaign against Sinclair by its competitors is about. That's what's behind the edited nonpartisan station promos that were falsely presented as if "news stories.") In case you're wondering.https://twitter.com/freepress/status/980609822759387136 …

      TAKE ACTION: If approved, the Sinclair-Tribune merger would create a media empire with the power to force its agenda on more than 70 % of the U.S. population.

      Who’s falsely presenting anything? All the stories I’ve seen correctly identify them as must-run promos. Seems like you’re creating a straw man to deflect from the actual point — the promos are ethically problematic.pic.twitter.com/3tMUGIrZMj

      You can form any opinion you wish: I can't find anything in the promos that most people wouldn't agree with: the news should check our facts, be accurate, there's been too many mistake etc. Which part do you find ethically problematic?

      "Unfortunately, some members of the media use their platforms to push their own personal bias and agenda to control 'exactly what people think'...This is extremely dangerous to a democracy.” That’s completely false in the local news space, and extremely hypocritical...

      Replying to @aweiss @SharylAttkisson

      …because the ONLY local ownership group pushing personal bias is Sinclair itself, with the must-run opinion pieces from Boris, Mark Hyman, and the Islamophobic “terror alert desk” segments.

      Replying to @aweiss @SharylAttkisson

      Did Sinclair ever correct the unsourced “ISIS slices nine youths in half in Mosul” report? Because that nonsense is not journalism. I’d never let a reporter fresh out of college get away with that, but Sinclair forces local stations to run it. That’s journalistic malpractice.

      I don't know what you're talking about.. but are you saying Sinclair gave ISIS a bad name?

      Replying to @SharylAttkisson

      I’m saying the Terror Alert Desk segments are filled with unsourced stories like this one from a site called “Iraqi News.” https://www.iraqinews.com/iraq-war/isis-slices-nine-youth-with-chinsaw-mosul/ … I could point to any random site on the internet and put it on TV too. That’s unethical journalism.

      And are you actually arguing that the Boris/Mark opinion pieces aren’t a corporate attempt "to push their own personal bias and agenda to control 'exactly what people think’?”

      Replying to @aweiss @SharylAttkisson

      Because that’s, you know, the whole point of commentary — to change opinions. And the ONLY commentary allowed on Sinclair stations are the pieces that come from corporate.

      Along with some of the one-sided Must Run news shows/segments consultants pushed out without disclosure by networks, etc.

          Are you insinuating something similar happens at other station groups? Because I worked for 4 of them, and have good friends at all the other big ones. I can say definitively that ONLY Sinclair forces stations to run commentary or stories like that.

          Are you referring to promos or commentaries? Because I don't know of other groups that send commentaries but I don't know other groups...
