I thought it was more nude pictures of the First Lady. I am so relieved. MSM is so weird. Makes me want to fly away in a black helicopter.

Not uncommon for them to be reading from the same script and hardly unique to TV. Newspapers the past 10-15 years feel like they've been written and publishd by the same (Leftist) company.

Brains....

Washed.

Must be true, it's on the news and CBS... Doesn't apply as I thought we lived in a Republic anyways.

Key word.

Not unusual for a company to try and keep their brand consistent across all markets, but the message is certainly lost when delivered like that.

You bring an interesting point, but reading verbatim as your own has a very different feel than grabbing an entire story and dropping the AP byline on it.

Anyway, the thread title is not my own opinion - watch the whole video...

That was across multiple "Brands" several different networks were shown. Of course they could of all picked it up from a singular source.

Sinclair Broadcast Group Faces Backlash Over Scripted Promos: ‘This Is Extremely Dangerous to Our Democracy’ (https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/sinclair-broadcast-group-faces-backlash-over-scripted-promos-‘this-is-extremely-dangerous-to-our-democracy’/ar-AAvlipq)

Earlier this year, CNN’s Brian Stelter reported that Sinclair Broadcast Group, the largest owner of local news stations in the country with over 200 owned or operated, would be requiring local news anchors to read a scripted promo that reflects a mistrust of the media. Some in the news industry expressed outrage at the time, but the anger has ignited Twitter in recent days after Deadspin created a compilation video showing dozens of newscasters reading the same promo.

One of the biggest issues taken with Sinclair, is their running of conservative content which is upsetting the libtards;

Kimmel isn’t the only one to have expressed alarm over to the broadcasting agency’s news practices. John Oliver did a segment on Sinclair back in July 2017, which emphasized the company’s injection of conservative political views into their news reporting, including the daily must-run segment “Terrorism Alert Desk” and “Bottom Line with Boris,” which is required to air nine times per week and features former Trump surrogate Boris Epshteyn. According to Oliver’s reporting, circulating must-run material across all stations is not common practice by broadcast groups.

Actor and comedian Kumail Nanjiani also tweeted his concerns over the promos, writing, “Sinclair Broadcast Group is buying up local stations all over the country & using them to push their extremely biased agenda.”

“Jinx! You owe me a Coke,” wrote “Late Show” host Stephen Colbert.

“House of Cards” creator Beau Willimon urged his followers to boycott the broadcaster and shared a link to a list of all Sinclair’s stations. “This is what corporate authoritarian propaganda looks like,” he wrote.
I'm pretty sure these same people would be defending Sinclair if they were promoting a leftist message.

Clear Channel is the largest owner of radio stations in the country .


NBC owns how many t.v outlets? SYFY for one, msnbc another. yet Kimmel isn't railing against their message, or lack of.

Haha, yes. Sad but true.

Equally threatening from either end of the spectrum.

And then mainstream media acts indignant when folks tune out or display skepticism. You brought this on yourself.

Comcast Universal owns NBC and a ton of other content and stations.

I watched the whole promo. The holding company that owns all of those stations is trying to keep a consistent message about their reporting. That doesn't bug me. Big difference between that and ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, PBS -- in theory, competing companies -- all reporting the same (Democrat) talking points with nearly identical language. This is just another attempt from the Left to discredit anyone who doesn't push their selected agitprop. In this case, the clips that are shown with identical scripts are just opening or closing policy statements, not like the clips you can find on Media Research Center or other spots showing "news" with the identical talking points across "competing" stations and networks. Of course, that scripted "news" being on the exact same script despite being "competition" is just a coincidence ...

Behold, the blind hatred of anything people don't understand. These two people saw the exact same video and came to completely opposite conclusions from it.

It was based on the bias of those complaining and the content they were complaining about. Try to keep up.

How do you get opposite conclusions? We stated different angles on the same thing: the complaints about Sinclair are phony, built around partisanship and ideologies that are anathema to the American way.

One party said that this is what happens when you broadcast stuff to anger the left, and the other said this is what happens when you only allow pro-left dialogue.

[Irving]

I've heard that the employees required to read the script were complaining about it, but don't care nearly enough to look into it.

The media has always been dangerous. Always had an agenda and bias. Yellow journalism, Horace Greeley, bought for political influence, bought to influence public opinion.
