Sinclair Broadcasting owns approximately 200 local television networks. Recently they became the laughing stock of the news industry when it was revealed that they were given a script in support of Trump’s lie that all networks other than Sinclair’s and FOX Noise are ‘fake news.’

It has been reported that some of Sinclair’s local executives have apologized to their on-air news personalities, but those apologies have not been fully accepted.

Let’s be completely honest here; this is an attempt by Sinclair management to assist Trump in his effort to replace democracy with fascism. One of Adolf Hitler’s first efforts was to control all of the media. All “news” emanated from the government.

One local news anchor, who asked to remain anonymous, has this to say.

“The apology was for putting us in a bad spot, for making us unwilling targets,” one anchor told The Daily Beast. “There is no remorse from the corporate leaders who will continue peddling their politics and quest for profits by any means necessary.”

Once again, I want to state a fact now revealed by the mainstream media; Trump is not an American president. He lied when he took the oath of office and promised to “preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States of America.”

Trump has violated the Constitution constantly, and ignored the ethics laws which apply to him directly. He continues to admire and support dictators around the world while angering our closest allies. His attack on our right of free speech is unforgivable. His racist views and attempted actions cannot be accepted as normal.

Trump is extremely ignorant, and he chooses to remain uninformed. He admits that he receives all of his information from FOX Noise. Sad, very sad.
