    Meanwhile:

    Sinclair, Inc., doing business as Sinclair Broadcast Group, is a publicly traded American telecommunications conglomerate that is controlled by the descendants of company founder Julian Sinclair Smith.
    Headquartered in the Baltimore suburb of Cockeysville, Maryland,[3] the company is the second-largest television station operator in the United States by number of stations (after Nexstar Media Group), owning or operating a total of 193 stations across the country in over 100 markets (covering 40% of American households) and is the largest owner of stations affiliated with Fox, NBC, CBS, ABC, MyNetworkTV, and The CW.

    A 2019 study in the American Political Science Review found that “stations bought by Sinclair reduce coverage of local politics, increase national coverage and move the ideological tone of coverage in a conservative direction relative to other stations operating in the same market.”[5][6]
    The company has been criticized by journalists and media analysts for requiring its stations to broadcast packaged video segments and its news anchors to read prepared scripts that contain pro-Trump editorial content, including warnings about purported “fake news” in mainstream media, while Trump has tweeted support for watching Sinclair over CNN and NBC.

      Yes — the fascists are just projecting their own actions and plans on Soros; the same with every single one of their accusations.

      • Sleepy Joe? Trump has dementia, and is obese.
      • Hillary will cause WW3? Trump sold nuclear secrets to the Saudis, and legitimately questioned why we can’t simply nuke our enemies.
      • Hunter Biden’s corrupt? Trumps direct family used their nepotism positions to “earn” several hundred million dollars.
      • Biden’s tram is incompetent? Trumps team booked a press conference in front of a landscaping business.
