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.

And there’s nothing inherently wrong with commentary or editorial notes. I personally think local news needs more of it at the station level. But that’s exactly what Sinclair prohibits its anchors from doing, because Hunt Valley leaves no room for dissenting views.

Just as a viewer I would like to see the news stations be straight (as possible) and no commentary. Then I would watch CNN and MSNBC and FOX for various "takes" and commentary. But I'd still like to watch something that seems fairly down the middle.

Full Measure is straight news (Joe Friday). As for a daily news show, many would love a new newsreel type show. A 1/2 hour of news no opinion. And go 2 cable 4 opinion.
