Remember that montage of local news broadcasts saying literally the same copy-pasted announcement of their policy?

That's Sinclair.

Shit like that happens all the time. Conan even used to have segments that would point it out.

all local news is copy-pasta. They buy articles from the associated press. Have you guys never watched Conan in your life? He has a bit where every local news station say the same shit verbatim.

And many media corporations buy other media corporations and shoehorn a message.
Has no one noticed Viacom channels all preach the exact same garbage?

what's special about this case?

was this a john Oliver episode or some shit that I missed

fuck, beat me to it.

There's a reason. Local news channels don't write their own material. All of it is either given to them to say or they are purchasing articles from the associated press. All national news is purchased, but all the local stories they actually somewhat write.

Do you really not understand the difference between a company buying stories they choose, and a company being forced to use specific stories?

Unlike the video you listed which is benign statements this was literal propaganda attempting to delegitimize all news except them. Waits for inevitable response of "they're right"

https://www.thedailybeast.com/sinclair-executives-quietly-apologize-to-anchors-from-that-infamous-video

Sinclair Broadcasting Group executives are trying to make amends internally after making their anchors look like hostages in must-read promo segments bashing the media.

The conservative broadcasting giant first came under fire after Deadspin published a video this weekend stitching together a slew of anchors at Sinclair-owned stations reading that script chiding mainstream outletsin Trumpian fashionfor media bias and for running fake stories without checking the facts first.

The video prompted immediate, forceful backlash from critics who said the campaign resembled President Trumps repeated attempts to delegitimize mainstream news reporting. Others, like Deadspin, pointed out the eerie nature in which the anchors from the country all willingly read from the same script, seemingly conscripted as soldiers in Trump's war on the media.

I said some, can you read? Some is given and some is purchased. Those internet meme trend pieces are usually purchased from the Associated press, but otherwise it is given to them by their parent company.

All it proves is the age old cliche that reporters just blindly read whatever is put on the teleprompter.

Go fuck yourself San Diego.

the companies that own these stations are called media conglomerates, they provide what they say for the national news.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_conglomerate

here are some that own local newstations
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nexstar_Media_Group
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Knight_Broadcasting

did you guys really think that local news wasn't owned by another company?

How many media companies aren't owned by a larger media company? like 1% of them? I doubt any news station isn't owned by a larger company

I find it extremely strange liberals are only founding out about this now. Is it even news if this has been the case for longer than any of us have been alive? It's not likely any of this is a secret. You can just google your local newstation to find who owns them and who supplies them with their stories.

Even these journalists are probably owned by some company that gives them direction.

Don't trust media lmao. All the data exists online. What good is the news and the media in an age where information is so easily accessible for the every man.

You'll get a better understanding of the world by looking at fbi statistics directly than listening to some hack on the news feed you the stats in the most garbage way possible.

So what exactly is your point? It's been going on for a long time so you can't complain about it?
