Well, this is surprising and good if true. This is the same Sinclair that forced it's 193 stations to run pro Trump propaganda.

Sinclair Broadcast Group is axing the "must-run" segments of one of its biggest stars, Boris Epshteyn, the network's chief political analyst and a former special assistant to President Donald Trump. The move is part of a companywide effort to move away from political commentary in favor of investigative journalism, the network said Wednesday.

“We have to shine a light on our value proposition every quarter hour, in every newscast," the company said in a statement to its staff. "Therefore, we will be expanding our local investigative journalism footprint in our daily newscasts. We are excited to dedicate more time in our newscasts to report on critical and relevant issues.”

Oh no. Neither good nor true. This is a move from "obvious political cheerleading propaganda" to "political propaganda project veritas/Fox News/Breitbart style." They want to mask their propaganda as actual journalism rather than obvious opinion.
 
Having a Neo-facist mouthpiece was a little too on the nose for Sinclair's subtle attempt at being a right wing Propaganda Ministry.

No this isn’t good all. Instead of blatant propaganda, they will be doing what Fox News does but at the local level and it will be even harder for your average American to discern fake news from real news.

“Are liberals turning local youth trans? News 2 investigates a disturbing trend among local youth at so called Progressive Parties where teens huff used cat litter. But first Traffic.

Thanks Bob. Downtown is snarl thanks to an accident caused by a Prius with a Bernie 2020 sticker...”

Well, we'll see. At the least, it'll be harder to run coordinated national propaganda campaigns.

I never quite unqderstood why Sinclair, an American media company, would choose a fucking Russian as a spokesman.

You apparently don’t understand “conservatism” in its current form. They are traitors to the constitution and our democracy, just like Russia. They’ve found a perfect partner to destroy our government.
