In Case You Forgot, Sinclair Broadcasting Is Constantly Spewing Bullshit

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Earlier this year, Sinclair mandated that all the anchors at the regional stations it operates across the country read a statement condemning "fake news" and "one-sided news stories plaguing our country." The conservative media giant's propaganda machine is still churning. If you're not a die-hard KOMO News fan—the station that Sinclair has its grubby little mitts on over here in Seattle—you're probably safe from Sinclair's latest bullshit.

For the uninitiated, this is the new segment Sinclair is airing across the country:

I'm going to break it down for you:

The segment features Boris Epshteyn, a former Trump aide, defending the U.S. armed soldiers' use of tear gas on asylum-seekers at the U.S./Mexico border:

The migrant crisis on our southern border has greatly escalated. This past weekend, the United States was forced to temporarily close a major point of entry in San Diego, California, in response to hundreds of migrants attempting to storm the U.S.-Mexico border in hopes of claiming asylum. Dozens of migrants attacked U.S. border enforcement by throwing rocks and bottles. Ultimately, American authorities had to use tear gas to stop the attacks.

1. If Dems eventually retake the presidency and Senate they need to get rid of Snclair

and all propaganda networks. Bring back the fairness doctrine and revoke public airways for any stations that won't comply.

2. Not if, but WHEN

Sinclair is a horrible business, like Hobby Lobby or Blackwater.

3. Sharyl ATTKISSON gave me the rude reminder about Sinclair a couple of months ago

That is, I clicked into the local Sinclair outlet, which is a CBS affiliate, thinking nothing of it, like it was like the other locals, and was unpleasantly surprised to see a totally fawning interview by ATTKISSON of some regime a-hole. Looking it up, it was her, the one from way back who had been dumped from CBS, she claimed, because they didn't want her to do the wingnut thing.

Then it turned out that this is a regularly scheduled ATTKISSON segment on the local outlet and that she has ended up as a Sinclair flying monkey.

4. In the next Democratic administration can we puhLEESE

dust off the Sherman Anti-Trust Act (still on the books) and bust up these malevolent anti-democratic entities that control so much of what we see and hear?

And I don't just mean Sinclair, but all the media companies and Facebook, and anybody else too big for their britches (looking at you Bezos).

5. Only one of my local stations isn't Sinclair. It seems to be hosted by high school students.

At least I don't have to watch Boris Badanov.

6. First it was 3...then I heard 4...then it was children being used at human shields and now it's

dozens "attacking" border patrol. History is going to disembowel these people.
