When the vultures are finished tearing it to bits, the masses will not know what hit them, but they'll assuredly blame the folks that told them that they had been brainwashed but wouldn't listen.

Sinclair tried News Central... that flopped. So just make their successful local newscasts read from the same script?

I know who to trust for news.

They have been forcing their right wing rhetoric on us in the Seattle area since 2015. Sinclair is a nasty vile company that exists only to please the most RW viewers. Or maybe it's just to appease them. Hard to tell.
