I think it was Alex Wagner but KOMO, the Sinclair affiliate here did a “special” called “Seattle is Dying.” It was utterly full of lies about the city and stressed the violence and homelessness as an epidemic rather than as diminishing, which it is. That station also has right-leaning polls which drive me mad.

I suppose anchors need jobs, and theirs did register dismay when Sinclair bought the station, but I don’t see how they work there.

Sinclair stations won't be able to lie, propagandize, or spin their right-wing nonsense to the local public because they'll no longer be allowed to take advantage of the public's trust in local news media. That's why we need to bring it back--to stop over-the-air propaganda peddled to unsuspecting citizens.
