      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)

      Really Sharyl? The concern is that all of them were forced to say the same thing multiple times a week without context to their local community, AND COULD NOT REFUSE!!!!

      Clifford, media is not a democracy, true, but when local news is the primary source of information, it has a responsibility to its customers. Forcing conservative leaning information (good or bad) into their living rooms is UnAmerican...

      If you assume what Sinclair announced is the norm, why FORCE every station to recite it, and punish those who do not? If you assume the counterfactual, then America has a problem, and Trump is the cause of that problem

      Look, if you are a liberal and/or if you oppose Trump, and if you see this as somehow connected to Trump, there's not much room for discussion. But (to me) your question is kind of like asking why McDonald's should "force" all of its restaurants to buy a certain quality of meat.

          When Local News stations are forced to say exactly the same thing multiple times a week, and are punished if they don't, that is a problem. I think Trump is at the core of the problem, but on this issue Trump is beside the point... Sharyl & Clifton

          When any network or station airs a promo, they are saying the exact same thing multiple times a week. You can argue that companies shouldn't do promos, but that's a little different--and all news organizations I know of do them.

          I have not eaten at McDonald's in quite sometime, but a uniform quality of meat is a corporate standard for which, I'm sure, they strive. America is NOT striving for a unified Local opinion on anything. Including an opinion on Trump...

          You're getting closer. The Sinclair promo didn't imply anything about a unified local opinion on anything. Did you read it? It was their version of uniform qualify: Fair, accurate, fact-checked reporting that is neither "left nor right."

          Sinclair fostering cohesion around a corporate mission statement. One voice, one purpose. By requiring adoption, they’re unifying corporate messaging. Many corporate execs are familiar with PPT messaging templates that MUST be used in external facing presentations. So, meh.

          No they are NOT. Sinclair is shoving their pro-Trump nonsense down the throat of Local New Anchors. And, I assure you jscookjr, they won't be doing it for long...

          To me, it seems more like "Branding". As people travel thru the country, they can easily recognize a Sinclair owned station. Nothing wrong with that. Over 90% of MSM is owned by 6 liberal companies. Their employees donate mainly to DNC. I have a bigger problem with that.
