      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)

      6 Sinclair promo continued: "But we are human and sometimes our reporting might fall short. If you believe our coverage is unfair please reach out to us by going to (feedback reference). We value your comments. We will respond back to you." (continued)

      the problem is that the identical message was read by many anchors. You want to be just a pretty face and nice voice?

      No offense, and you can argue whether you like it or not, but many anchors generally read what's written for them--especially when it comes to promos. I don't know how you would disseminate a company wide mission statement any other way. Same as the networks do.

          no problem with an anchor identifying a Sinclair opinion as Sinclair. But it's a problem to identify it as local.

          It's a promo. A local promo carrying the mission statement of the national company, which develops a national campaign and direction for its stations. I guess it is confusing because most people don't know much about these relationships.

          as I said if it was run as a Sinclair promo it would be honest. But not branded as the local station.

          There’s a difference between openly delivering a company statement from Sinclair, and reading the scripted phrases we have been listening to for years — while pretending it’s news.
