1 Here's the text of Sinclair's promo that Sinclair's competitors and left-wing interests have created a fuss over. (This one for KOMO in Seattle). Let me know what you think about what it says: "Our greatest responsibility is to serve our Northwest communities...." (continued)

So Sinclair pushes KOMO (et al) to read the same statement as if it was theirs, not corporate HQ
-
You can argue with how it's done but as I wrote in my article, national promotional campaigns are devised all the time and done in concert with local stations and affiliates. That's the whole point.
-
I see it as a mission statement as much as a promo. If one doesn't believe in the mission statement of the company they work for then they shouldn't be working for them. It applies to all local or otherwise.
-
kinda missing the point. The Sinclair mission stmt should not be read as a local opinion piece. It's dishonest
-
(Nobody read it as a “local opinion piece.” It was a promo.)

I think they're calling out themselves. They're guilty of everything they've alluded to others doing and should stop being hypocritical. They're the worst of the media & I hope in decades from now, the entire journalism community will teach about how not to be by pointing at them

It's a mission statement. I don't know what the uproar is about.

It's a gas. Sinclair is a conservative company. They are gaslighting the left in order to push the purchase through. Then they will begin putting out positive Trump coverage at the local level to combat the cable MSM. Just watch...

Is it even possible to breed a new generation of real journalists at this point? Where would they come from? Not the Universities. Right?

Kind of hilarious that Sinclair is being attacked for committing to be fair in journalism

I see Sinclair saying all they care to report is facts and truth... anyone deriding Sinclair doesn’t want to see facts first.

For a promo I think it's great. I take all promo with a grain of salt but at face value unless "I know" otherwise...the proof is in the pudding and that's all that matters. Time will tell.

This is the part that I got annoyed over. Having so many local station say the exactly the same thing feels like they are the ones who try to control what others think. Maybe I'm just projecting because of what Swedish media are doing over here.

THIS
statement (especially in light of locally "trusted" people) is extremely dangerous.
It reinforces the misconception that we live in a "Democracy"!
Nothing could be further from the truth and this is the most dangerous form of government.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

I think it runs deeper than that...........we need to get to the truth of it........it goes beyond personal beliefs its orchestrated by much more powerful people than those in the media it self...opinion
