Local news anchors across the country are reading from the exact same script on Joe Biden.
Local television news broadcasters are airing suspiciouslyĀ similar attacksĀ on Joe Bidenās mental acuity and how it will affect the coming electionāand it appears to be part of a coordinated effort.
The Sinclair Broadcast Group owns or operates 185 local television stations across the country, and dozens of their stations aired a segment from national correspondent Matthew Galka citing aĀ Wall Street JournalĀ articleĀ that makes dubious attacks on Bidenās age and mental awareness. The stations that aired the segment introduced it using startlingly similar, if not identical language, the Popular Information and Public Notice newslettersĀ reported.
Itās not the first time Sinclair, owned by right-wing businessman David D. Smith, has appeared to be running a conservative propaganda campaign. Infamously in 2018, dozens of the companyās TV stations were caught airing anĀ identical editorialĀ about the dangers of biased and false news. This time around, theĀ Rupert Murdoch-ownedĀ Wall Street Journal, as well as Murdochās cable news stations Fox News and Fox Business, have gotten in on the act.
Worth noting that was also Sinclair. Over the years Iāve seen numerous right wing MAGA wackos try to use that as a demonstration of the mainstream media being corrupt unlike www.freedomeagleflag.ru or whatever. They donāt like when you point out it was Sinclair, a right wing junk outlet.
They figure itās been long enough for the general public to forget. Unfortunately, theyāre mostly correct.
One of John Oliverās best segments of all time.

Man, that was fucking TRIPPY when it came out. It was like āholy christ this is the matrix dude D:ā.
In this day and age? Iām not surprised, but I am, once again, disappointed.
