Sinclair's script for stations
Andrew W (AWatts712)
A short compilation of dozens of local news anchors at Sinclair-owned stations reading the same scripted promo about biased and fake news. It went viral in 2018 as an example of centralized media messaging.
Cited as an example of media consolidation and coordinated messaging, mostly in threads about distrust of news, though it is also posted as a plain source.
