Local News Anchors Are Being Forced to Deliver Pro-Trump Propaganda

Captain Adverse said:
No.

It's okay because that's how politics and information dissemination works.

You don't seem to mind YOUR side using those tactics, I don't mind my side responding in kind.

Helps to balance the equation :coffeepap:

No - it's how propaganda works.

But I don't remember any liberal media talent being ordered to say anti Trump things.

Who writes their copy? You think they write their own copy?
 
When all of the Sinclair Group media outlets are ordered to read the same scripts it amounts to a propaganda campaign. The Mercers and Boris Epstheyn strike again.

They write what they are told to write.

If the merger is approved, Sinclair’s broadcasts will reach 72 percent of all households. Some media analysts have speculated that with Fox News reeling from cascading sexual harassment scandals, Sinclair senses an opportunity to build a rival conservative network. David Smith is reportedly eyeing a collaboration with Steve Bannon, the former Trump White House chief strategist who leads Breitbart News. There have also been reports, which Sinclair denies, that the company is pursuing the ousted Fox host Bill O’Reilly as well as Sean Hannity.

So media bias is ok when it is pro trump, but when it is anti trump you scream bloody murder about bias. Got it. There’s a word out there for that....oh yeah hypocrite. I expect nothing more from cons like yourself.

What makes you think I'm talking about the media? I'm not. I'm talking about having a job.

Look...I know there is bias in all media. That's why I do my best to filter the bias to get facts. Doesn't matter to me if that bias is left wing or right wing. I dismiss all of it.

Bwahahahahahahahahaha you call pointing your hypocrisy out as fuming? :lamo

Oh you hypocrites are too funny. Here’s a hint for your reading comprehension, diming you hypocrites out is not fuming.

Yes, you are fuming. You're desperately trying to turn this around on me when this is about you and your hypocrisy that happened the moment you walked into this thread to comment. I hold disdain for all media, so your accusatory finger pointing falls utterly flat and is pathetic deflecting.

I read it. If I'd been wearing socks, that article would have knocked them off. The partisan contamination of thousands of local news stations is disgraceful.

Local News Anchors Now Have to Read Pro-Trump Propaganda



I bet we won't hear cons moaning about this bias.

I can tell you that certain local news stations here in Sacramento and the SF Bay Area have created a “commonality” to play it down the middle. They aren’t big enough individually to split their audiences like cable news has done. They are in a battle for survival to protect a survivable demographic that responds to their advertising.

So it's hypocrisy to point out that media can be biased both ways? Or does it contradict your talking points?

So, you never moan about how the media is anti-Trump or about fake news? You never do that?
 
Mycroft said:
It sucks when employers tell their employees what their jobs are. Too bad the only recourse for the employee is to quit.

But hey...that's the way it goes when they agree to work for a company...and then end up not liking the work.

Kinda like taking a job at a unionized company and realizing you actually have to pay dues to cover the expense of your benefits???
