Anonymous Coward (no pun intended) every media entity since Gutenberg has included editorial content in their deliveries. Some are just disguised better than others. Actually to Sinclair’s credit the Boris’s and Mark Hyman pieces are blatantly obvious. People are being pretty hyperbolic about this really, but that’s the times we live in I suppose./div>
James- those are blatantly obvious editorial commentary pieces and I’ve see them they’re not even good by the way. Oliver is clearly being disingenuous to conflate that with reporting of local news. Why? Maybe because he does have an agenda, maybe just to illicit laughs. Not like the local weather gal is coming out there and saying “chance of rain likely this weekend thanks to those damn liberals always wanting to plan more trees., now don’t go way after this break breaking news some damn illegal aliens just committed more crimes downtown”. Do you know how ridiculous that sounds?! But like I say just watch some of it and decide for yourself and if you don’t like it just turn the damn channel./div>
To say Sinclair's local stations produce "facts optional news on a good deal" is categorical undaldulterated nonsense. What a hack! How about this rather than going off some piece of artistically doctored propoganda delivered by a comedian or reading the butthurt diatribes of the quintessential godfather of "fake news" Dan Rather--how about actually watching one hour of a local news broadcast. There try to find, FOR YOURSELF, any hint of political bias left or right within the news reporting. I'm not talking about the 4-5 minutes per week of Boris segments those are lame anyway nobody is moved by those. I'm talking about the news./div>
