Seattle's once-celebrated KOMO News station, purchased by Sinclair Broadcast Network in 2013, is now just a local Fox News. What a shame for the city.
When KOMO ran a similar documentary on local homelessness in March, it moved through the right-wing media ecosystem and was all over Fox in less than a week.
That prior KOMO documentary was woven into a broader push on Sinclair stations and on Fox to vilify people experiencing homelessness.

And because President Trump's worldview is shaped by the hours of Fox News he watches all the time, the White House soon began pushing for a "major crackdown on homeless camps." washingtonpost.com/business/2019/…

This is why Fox News exists

Also see @ThePlumLineGS write-up, pointing out Fox is "an institution of sorts lined up forcefully behind Trump... Historians have noted that Nixon had nothing like it at his disposal."

President Trump doesn't read books; when he recommends them, he's usually just watched the author on Fox News.

Right, Trump, 8:25 a.m.

The doomed House vote to censure Schiff for reading a parodic version of the president's call with Ukraine's president is the top story on his favorite show this morning.

Left, Fox & Friends, 7:01 a.m.
Right, Trump, 8:31 a.m.
The president has suggested that Schiff be arrested and charged with treason over this inanity, so of course House Republicans are criticizing... Schiff.
