Do you think this shows Bias in the Media?

WTF are you talking about ?? Are you concerned left wing segments may be pushed on local broadcast stations ??

All I've ever seen after our local Sinclair owned ABC affiliate promised to be honest is a point counter point segment toward the end of their 5:30 news broadcast.

Being an ABC affiliate WLOS's news is all ABC's national, international and political, the rest is all local.

Do you even know how affiliated broadcast stations work ??

I think it fundamentally undermines journalistic integrity for a central corporate office to literally give propaganda scripts to their local affiliates to read, masquerading as local news segments.

You don't have any issues with mainstream media literally forcing its stations to read from a propaganda script?

Provide the evidence of the "literally forcing" and we'll have issues. Sinclair would have done well under Stalin. No "enemies of the people" they.

Does this one video alone of everything super syndicated show a inherent bias in the media?

Does this scare you at all? All these different people saying the exact same thing pretending to be different people.

Ancient kings in the past would hire 200 people to all go out and tell a story in a certain way.

Do you think these news anchors constitute the biblical essence of "Legion"?

That video is a year old, most of us have seen it already. Nobody got scared and things never change.

...do you think dozens of local news stations all independently wrote EXACTLY the same segment to air on EXACTLY the same day?

Wow, the news crews of tv stations Sinclair owns promised their viewers they'd be honest.

Maybe that's some propaganda you should spread.
