Having scores of news folks repeat a script sent down from #On_High … begins to take on the aura of #1984
News outlets are not meant to set up #The_Rules
What's missing is honest reporting
Come to think of it…maybe we've never had #Honest_Reporting from major news outlets

I agree with some of what you say; some not. You can certainly argue with how news organizations operate in so many respects. But they've all done promos, local, national and joint, as long as I can remember. https://sharylattkisson.com/2018/04/04/youve-been-hoodwinked-perhaps/ …

I should have been concise…I agree re:
#Blanket_Broadcast format promos & messages…I even agree with what was said by the Sinclair broadcasters however it seems a tad#Orwellian when 170+ stations repeat a script of this nature. I think prudential folks understand bias exists -
True. But only because somebody edited it together. Every day all the nets do "talkbacks" and promos involving local stations often with exact wording etc. Why should the wording of a promo differ to "pretend" it's not the same message? Is that better or worse?

The promo obsession is a fig leaf, for opposing the merger. There are legitimate reasons to be for or against a merger. But this promo frenzy is just bizarre.

You're correct & I don't object to the merger…& much, if not most, of the increased volume over

@BenSwann_ Nothing wrong with consolidation, couldn't disagree more! Cable, telecom, radio, newspapers all have ability to own 100%. Television is the only one being regulated. Sinclair can't own all "voices" in market, but they should be able to own 1 station in 100% of the US.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Interesting. About a year before the last pres election, I read in our local paper that Sinclair bought up several TV stations in the northern part of our state. I didn't know if that was bad or good. Now, I know. Thanks.

Other than the news factor this is essentially the same type of promo that you hear on nationally syndicated radio shows. Same copy, different markets. Much ado.

What's the matter Shar? Truth about the vast majority of your peers, controlled by their advertisers, hurts too much . . .

All corporate media is suspect...the inquiring mind researches all sources...we cannot depend on the truth being told vs a narrative.
