Sinclair Serves Up Another "Must Run"

The country's largest TV group owner appears to have thin skin, just like its puppeteer, Donald Trump.

In another 'must do', all Sinclair stations were ordered to place a story on the top of their website, attacking CNN for what it calls "dishonesty and hypocrisy". The video is titled, "Did CNN Attack Sinclair For Doing Exactly What CNN Has Done For Years".

"This petty pissing match isn’t local news and content, let alone local news that matters or has any value to the viewer whatsoever," said one Sinclair staffer to FTVLive. 

This is one of the scary parts of Sinclair: they just don't get it.

The video features CNN media critic and Jeff Zucker water boy Brian Stelter talking about fake news.

They say that Stelter has said in the past exactly what Sinclair Anchors were forced to say in that recent must run promo for the company. 

First off, Stelter is not exactly the best example to use. He really is no longer a Journalist and is much more of a commentator. 

Second, it is more than likely that Stelter read his own words, even if they were prodded by Jeff Zucker.

He was not forced to read a script and was not told that he could not change it and it had to be read word for word. 

Not sure this accomplished anything and also it should be added, almost no viewers have a clue who Brian Stelter is?

This was just another knee-jerk reaction by Sinclair that shows just how thin their skin really is. 

Here is the very boring Sinclair video:
