Do Not Engage (Patreon)

You have to feel for the people that work at Sinclair stations. They want to just do their job as a Journalist, and yet, they get caught up in working for a company that wants to push their political agenda. 

A number of people that work at Sinclair stations reached out to FTVLive when the company stopped forcing stations to run the pro-Trump commentaries from Trump lacky Boris Epshteyn. 

"When Sinclair dumped Epshteyn, I really had hopes that they might be turning a corner," said one Sinclair employee to FTVLive. 

Then Sinclair went out and hired a new Trump supporter that was, dare we say it, even worse than Epshteyn. 

Sinclair hired disgraced Fox News host Eric Bolling. 

Bolling host a Trump propaganda show on the Sinclair stations that is disguised as a news show on the issues. 

Bolling uses his Sinclair branded Twitter account to talk straight to the President>

On Friday morning FTVLive told you how Bolling planned to use this weekend's show to try and discredit Dr. Anthony Fauci and prop up Trump. 

After FTVLive posted our story, a number of other outlets picked up on the story and after backlash, Sinclair pulled the Bolling show and says it now plans on editing it again. 

The people that work in the newsrooms at Sinclair stations are stuck dealing with the blowback from viewers, pissed off that Sinclair and Bolling would be giving time to a discredited conspiracy theorist on their stations. 

In fact, as the calls were coming into Sinclair owned WJAR (Providence) the news staff was sent this internal memo, ordering them not to "engage" with the viewers.

The memo was obtained by FTVLive.

How sad is it that this is what Journalists working at Sinclair must deal with?

All so the corporate owner can push their political agenda. 

It is time that Sinclair dump Bolling just like they did Boris. Start doing real Journalism, present both sides and let the viewer make up their own mind. 

Stop telling viewers how to think, how to vote and just give them the damn news without your opinion.
