    Sinclair tells the local stations what the say in their "editorials."

    Watch. Not very long.

    Can't watch right now but they're running that scripted speech here if it is the one they are talking about.

    Not sure what TV ownership has to do with democracy.

    There's never been an unbiased TV station that presented truthful, factual information.

    You want the truth, get thee to a library.

    Why would anyone watch local news anyway?

    It's 90% local fluff crap.

    Corrupt FCC repeals law that prevents media corporations from buying up all the local news stations.

    Right wing corporation goes out and buys a bunch of local stations.

    Liberals worry about the erosion of democracy and corporate control of the news.

    Liberals want to heavily regulate the one tangible thing we have to protect ourselves from the government and our corporate overlords. :dunno:

    Good idea, we should get all our news from one person. Call it freedom from government and remove laws the promote competition and a balance of ideas and voices and then somehow blame liberals. This will end well.
