So, supposedly deleted off the Reddit front page - twice (if you believe r/conspiracy) still - it is creepy and Orwellian.

"Some members of the media use their platforms to push their own personal bias and agenda" ... oh the irony.

The instructions for producing and airing the localized versions went into great detail about how the promos "should look and sound," according to another document obtained by CNN.

"Talent should dress in jewel tones -- however they should not look political in their dress or attire," one of the documents says. "Avoid total red, blue and purples dresses and suits. Avoid totally red, blue and purple ties, the goal is to look apolitical, neutral, nonpartisan yet professional. Black or charcoal suits for men...females should wear yellow, gold, magenta, cyan, but avoid red, blue or purple."

At the end of the promo, viewers are encouraged to send in feedback "if you believe our coverage is unfair."

The instructions say that "corporate will monitor the comments and send replies to your audience on your behalf."

In other words, local stations are cut out of the interactions with viewers. Management will handle it instead.

This is extremely dangerous to our democracy, and remember, resistance IS futile.

This is what happens when one huge conglomerate (an extremely right wing one to boot) is allowed to own more than half of the local news channels in the country.

""Some members of the media use their platforms to push their own personal bias and agenda" ....how dare they, they should only be pushing our bias and our agenda." -Sinclair Broadcast Group

For the sake of your sanity (or at least your faith in humanity), don't read the YT comments... The nazis are out in force, which I'm sure makes Sinclair happy as larks.

Having the majority of media run by a small set of oligarchs doesn't really seem any better than having a state run media.

I like the way the BBC is governed.
It's like PBS and NPR.

I for one welcome our Trumpian overlords, I’d like to remind them, as a trusted news anchor, I could be helpful in rounding up others to toil in their “clean coal” mines.

I think it's the same thing seeing how our government is basically a corporatocracy at this point

I mean, all they said was that we will be honest and good journalist. I guess that is a bad thing now? If you think this is the first time corporate has made on air talent read a script, you have been hiding under a rock for a long, LONG time.

"Hi, I’m(A) ____________, and I’m (B) _________________…"

okay

"(B) Our greatest responsibility is to serve our Northwest communities. We are extremely proud of the quality, balanced journalism that KOMO News produces."

okay.

"(A) But we’re concerned about the troubling trend of irresponsible, one sided news stories plaguing our country. The sharing of biased and false news has become all too common on social media."

I mean, with reports of social media "shadow banning" conservative accounts (and other one sided controlling of content), it troubles me too.

"(B) More alarming, some media outlets publish these same fake stories … stories that just aren’t true, without checking facts first."

True statement. Remember this: https://youtu.be/WhHAPsXhbR8

"(A) Unfortunately, some members of the media use their platforms to push their own personal bias and agenda to control “exactly what people think” … This is extremely dangerous to a democracy."

aka opinion as fact. also bad.

"(B) At KOMO it’s our responsibility to pursue and report the truth. We understand Truth is neither politically “left nor right.” Our commitment to factual reporting is the foundation of our credibility, now more than ever."

so, they pledge to do their job. okay.

"(A) But we are human and sometimes our reporting might fall short. If you believe our coverage is unfair please reach out to us by going to KOMOnews.com and clicking on CONTENT CONCERNS. We value your comments. We will respond back to you."

when they screw up, we have a way to tell them. how is this bad?

"(B) We work very hard to seek the truth and strive to be fair, balanced and factual. … We consider it our honor, our privilege to responsibly deliver the news every day."

again, they pledge to do their job.

"(A) Thank you for watching and we appreciate your feedback."


I don't see the big deal.
