Sinclair Broadcasting Group has a new policy which Democrat politicans find to be so biased against them they are boycotting all media outlets owned by Sinclair by not placing political ads with the company. The quote below comes from the KOMO TV news site which is a part of the Sinclair Broadcasting group and is the prepared statement news anchors have to read this script.
Can you believe it? What a terrible policy. Remind people there is deciet in the media? Oh, what a revolting and disgusting thing to do. At least in the eyes of Democrat politicians. This reinforces the idea that the Democrat politicians don't like truth and do not want an educated public.
