Page 56 - Sinclair Broadcasting News Today

Speaking on behalf of the administration on the message of that day. so in those instances, they feel like they dont need to have a press briefing. but as you and i both know, there have been many occasions where the president has a spray or something in the oval office, talks to reporters a little bit and they still have a press briefing. there are a number of questions that need to be asked, one of them being this daca issue. but wolf, as you saw early this morning, the president likes it when...

Angry about it. i dont know that the others. it depends on what journalist professors they had. needless to say, a lot of this isnt new. affiliated stations with networks run network packages all the time. and sinclair has all these must-run editorials and packages. this was different in that wasnt just running a package that the mother ship gave them. it was making the local people read the same exact script. and i think even if you were fresh out of college doing that, if that didnt make you f...

Watch network news anchors, criticized sinclair broadcasting for being biassed. sinclair is far superior to cnn and even more fake nbc, which is a total joke." and the copies these local anchors had to read certainly echoes what the president has been saying. >> it does. and i dont find propaganda as funny as the president of the united states seems to do in that tweet. because i think if you really believe in the first amendment and free press and the role of the watchdog and gatekeeper and als...

Sinclair broadcasting to allow them to have even more power and leverage. theyve got to watch that. >> clearly, this story is not going away. guys, stick around. just ahead, investigators now are all but convinced that the putin government approved the poisoning of a former russian spy. but the kremlin is pointing a finger of blame at britain. well have a live report from moscow.

Appeals process. both sides agreed not to hear the appeal, though, until september. zervos former attorney, gloria allred, withdrew from the case last week. more on that story coming up. president trump jumped to the defense of sinclair broadcasting on twitter this morning. so funny to watch the fake news networks, he writes, among the most dishonest groups of people i have ever dealt with, criticized sinclair broadcasting for being biased. sinclair is far more superior to cnn and even more fa...

That is challenging the administration, not -- >> but sinclair had 15 exclusive trump interviews in 2016. not one of hillary clinton. they had tim kaine for a couple of them. theyve almost always given money to republican nominees. its no surprise they are very conservative leaning. still, i think this was a rejection of what the principles are for journalism. >> and two more things to add to that you have to keep in mind, a chief political analyst for sinclair is boris epshteyn, who worked with...

Your local sinclair news anchors. it is a mandate from the company that they read the sinclair script. dead spin took bits of dozens of sinclair anchors from these stations and you can hear from yourself from different parts of the country these men and women are saying virtually the exact same thing. >> the sharing of biased and false news has become all too common on social media. more alarming, some of these outlets publish these things as true without checking facts first. unfortunately, som...

>> reporter: though the conditions have improved, the two remain hospitalized in england as their home country continues to maintain its innocence in the case. the authorities in britain will and indeed elsewhere just arent buying the pleas of innocence from moscow and the russian phenomenon. the united kingdom has embarked on a host of measures to defend britain from this kind of attack taking place in the future and to trays cost toward moscow of allowing this nerve agent poisoning to take p...

Impression. >> so theyve just responded to all this criticism that has come in the wake of all that video. the senior vice president of news scott livingston who is defending it as a well researched journalistic initiative focused on fair and objective reporting. care to comment? >> maybe it was. that comment itself sounds lying it came out of same robot that was saying all these things. and i dont know exactly what that means. im sure they did some research. what i find most fascinating about t...

Congress. >> state senator mae flexer, thank you so much. >> you got it. sinclair broadcasting has just responded to outrage that it required its local tv anchors from 200 tv stations to read these scripts bashing so-called fake news. i can tell you they are definitely not apologizing. well be right back. well, like most of you, i just bought a house.
