Any context here? Do you love sinclair more than other broadcast groups or what? Its not very interesting.
the context is they are a corporate mouthpiece for the far right maga nutcases currently destroying the u.s.
They are a corporate MSM monopoly, created by fascists, for fascists.
They own a fuckload of stations. One group owning pretty much all of local news is a big problem.
Here is a good reason why this is bad. This video is from 2017 and the situation has only gotten worse:

This video should give you all the context you need about Sinclair.
Maybe it’s normal in the US but to me owning this much of the media is a massive red flag and should never happen.
exactly the type of context for the link I was looking for.
If you're in the US and didn't already know the context then that's fucking sad.
If you're not, then makes sense.
Im in the us but don't track down the various media empire and someone dropping a link with no reference did not help to education me until I spoke up and got some.
