But of course your local TV station brings unbiased news...
Beware, the Black Mirror is strong in this one

I was just looking at that. It's been deleted from the reddit front page several times too.

The "this is extremely dangerous to our democracy" at the end works on so many levels of creepy

Looks like John Oliver had an item about Sinclair Broadcast last year:

Sinclair has long produced “must-run” segments for its stations, dispersing them to its various subsidiaries and requiring the local stations to run controversial, typically conservative commentary promos alongside their regular news coverage. However, in recent weeks, it’s begun turning its sights on the competition, throwing in mentions of “fake news,” among other things.
“The promos, which began airing on the station last week, are part of a Sinclair campaign that forces local anchors to read Sinclair-written scripts warning of the dangers of ‘one-sided news stories plaguing our country,'” the Seattle Post-Intelligencer reported on Thursday.
It's propaganda, plain and simple.

Saw this on John Oliver last year. I'm glad Sinclair only run one shitty channel in MN. I don't even think it has local news on it.
