"They're seeing these people they've trusted for decades tell them things they know are essentially propaganda." Sinclair employees react to the POW-style messages local anchors have been forced to give.http://money.cnn.com/2018/04/01/media/sinclair-anchor-promos/index.html …

I watched both the Deadspin and Media Matters produced videos. It's a coordinated effort to smear Sinclair to stop its merger with Tribune. If Brian Stelter of CNN read the same message, you probably wouldn't object.

No. I wouldn't. I don't want my news to be written in some Corp office. If I live in ny, I don't want to get the same news as a local affiliate in co. I would watch news outlets for that. You should be alarmed.

It's written commentary coming from Corp that all Sinclair affiliates have to give. This should happen. And social media is individuals repeating that commentary. That's not the same thing.

Also, what is the issue of a news organization advocating for balanced and accurate news reporting?

I think the truth is... those who don't want balance and accurate reporting and have been able to control much of the news agenda don't like this notion.

forcing people to read commentary from corp is not accurate reporting. local media is the last form of untouched media where they report what's going on without sharing their opinions. this corp commentary changes that.
