It appears that Sinclair is trying to make their boss, Donald Trump happy and are doing their best to help Trump get re-elected in November. 

"Sinclair is making us shove this Flynn story down our viewers’ throats," says one Sinclair employee to FTVLive. 

Sinclair is sending down “priority content” stories (a.k.a. MUST RUNS) for the past few days from right wing Sinclair Reporter James Rosen and they are looking a lot like stories put out by the Trump campaign. 

Here are some of the stories that Sinclair is sending down to their affiliates and advising them to run.  

First off, Flynn has not been cleared on criminal charges. A federal judge is reviewing the request and yes, it likely will happen, but it has not as of yet. 

Second, the judge is also asking if Flynn can be held in contempt of court for perjury? 

Remember, Flynn plead guilty to charges. 

Sinclair glosses over this to try and pin as much as they can on Joe Biden and cast him in a bad light to help their friend Donald Trump. 

Of course, this story should be told and reported and if there was wrong doing, it should be flushed out. 

But, Sinclair seems to be more interested in shooting and then aiming as they use their affiliates to help spread the word and help get Trump's talking points out to the viewers. 

This is the problem we are now in. Do you trust Sinclair to tell this story factually? I know that I sure don't. 

Trust is the main component of every local TV station. You lose that and you might as well just become Fox News or CNN and go straight into opinion reporting and give up on real journalism. 

Just saying...

egads, I am so glad the attempted Sinclair coup of the former Tribune stations failed or we'd have this partisan pabulum peddled up here in Cleveland...
