(21,646 posts)Bottom Line with Boris is one of three regular Sinclair segments considered to be must run content, meaning that all Sinclair stations are required to air them.
The other two segments are Behind the Headlines with conservative commentator Mark Hyman and a fearmongering terrorism alert desk. The practice has raised concerns from experts and employees at local Sinclair stations.
Sinclair is currently seeking to acquire Tribune Media for $3.9 billion, a move that would make Sinclair the largest provider of local television news in the country. The potential acquisition, by the way, is possible only because of a Trump administration move to roll back Obama-era consumer regulations.
Its clear that Sinclair is attempting to push an increasingly skewed view of the news to an ever-expanding audience in regions across the country and set this tone by narrating a strange must run segment warning viewers about biased and false news from members of the national media.
The must run segments are not just run-of-the-mill conservative commentary
