Some qualified "good news" is Sinclair have at least delayed airing & promoting the dangerous Plandemic conspiracy theories. So between now and if/when they do air the conspiracy theory, here are some important points to consider about this issue...
Conspiracy theories & misinformation about COVID-19 are dangerous to public health. They erode public trust in institutions & scientific experts, and less likely to listen to advice to avoid spreading the virus, such as social distancing & mask-wearing.
So by giving a conspiracy theorist like Judy Mikovits a megaphone, they are amplifying misinformation, eroding public trust in scientists, & endangering the public...
Sinclair defend themselves saying they'll bring on scientists to debunk Mikovits. This just means they present scientific information in the form of false balance, misinforming the public. I discuss false balance in this Critical Thinking About COVID video
I've published research finding that when science information is presented in a media article in the form of false balance, it misinforms the public. It's a very problematic way for the media to cover scientific issues. sks.to/inoculation
