Come On! You're the GM of a TV Station.... (Patreon)

Nexstar is less than 5 months away from launching "News Nation" on WGN America. 

Nexstar CEO Perry Sook claims that the cable newscast will be unbiased straight down the middle news. That will be very refreshing if true. 

Nexstar is the biggest station ownership group in the country and you would hope that news philosophy is the same at all Nexstar stations. 

But, we have to wonder if that is possible at Nexstar's WDHN in Dothan, Alabama. 

Janie Hinson has been the GM at the station for nearly 2 decades and a brief look at her social media shows that she is far from unbiased. 

Let's look at a few posts she has made:

How does Nexstar let a GM of one of their stations post stuff like this? 

Clearly, people that work In the newsroom see these posts and when they sit down to write a story, don't you think they would want to slant it to keep the boss happy? 

Does Hinson really believe that the coronavirus was released by Democrats to stop Trump from being elected?

Does she really feel that some that practices the Muslim religion should not be able to hold office? 

Is this how all the Nexstar GM's think? 

I would think that as a General Manager at a Nexstar station you would keep your opinions to yourself and not post them all over social media. 

Is Perry Sook OK with this? What about the Nexstar shareholders?

Nexstar says they are going to start a cable newscast for the entire country and will be unbiased and straight forward news. 

After reading these posts from one of the company's General Managers, I'm not so sure. 

Just saying.....
