Just another reason why the Ricketts family sucks for Chicago.
“Sinclair Broadcasting Group has been reported as a potential partner (w/ the Cubs), but “we’re not talking who the partner is.” chicagotribune.com/sports/basebal…
"In addition to the new seating arrangement, team officials said improvements in Wi-Fi and the addition of patio decks for more concession stands and bathrooms in the upper deck will result in less congestion on the lower concourse."
Kenney also defended the motives of the Ricketts family in supporting opponents of Tunney in the 44th ward — which includes Wrigley Field...
“It seems like we’re always on the other end of the spectrum w/ this guy...Why are we so far apart? Why can’t we find any common ground..."

This should NOT happen.
Hedge funds buying news publishers means less reporters & more AI-based news. DFM is consolidating journalism. That means less/skewed public facts paid for by investors who have a history of investing in Russia.
Why now?

"Sinclair employees say that the company orders them to air biased political segments produced by the corporate news division...and that it feeds interviewers questions intended to favor Republicans." bit.ly/2QSCzHA
Sinclair Broadcasting Group Executive Chairman David Smith on how he operates his TV stations: "My father was too much of a visionary to care about profits. What I wanted was purely to make money." bit.ly/2QSCzHA
Smith got his start in the entertainment industry by working for a production company that made copies of pornographic films (including the film "Deep Throat"). The company closed after a police raid. Now Smith heads Sinclair Broadcasting Group. bit.ly/2QSCzHA

1/ You've probably heard of Sinclair Broadcasting Group.
Maybe you thought it was just another news media merger, no big deal.
Or maybe it was a little troublesome, but with Trump in the WH, we have bigger problems, right?

Watch this. (thread)

2/ These anchors are being forced to read from the same script in every major market in the United States.

The script might as well have been written by Trump himself.

This is as close as we've come to state-sponsored television in this country.

3/ Why haven't you heard of Sinclair?
Do you watch the local news?
If yes, do you watch the Fox affiliate for your local news?
No?
That's probably why.

Or, you might have seen these segments and not even have been aware that you were being indoctrinated.

Here's a state-by-state thread of all the stations owned or operated by Sinclair Broadcasting Group.

LET'S EDUCATE EVERYONE before it's too late. #Resist

Nationwide boycott of all Sinclair Broadcasting stations and the companies supporting them is in order

Unless you want to see America's local news turn into an engine for @RT_com style propaganda...

#BoycottSinclair #SinclairBroadcasting #Sinclair

This wiki has a list of all the local Sinclair broadcast networks around America for you to boycott..

Also a good idea to file a complaint with the @FCC
