Longtime Cincinnati Anchor and dad to George, Nick Clooney says if he was still working at Sinclair owned WKRC, he would not have read the script.

Clooney says that he would not have joined the other Sinclair anchors across the country in reading the propaganda sent down from corporate.

“I have no idea what these folks are doing for a living, but it isn’t news,” Clooney told The Cincy Enquirer.

Sure, station owners would give editorials. But the owners would give the editorials themselves, not tell anchors to read it for them, Clooney said.

“Never, however, would they have suggested, coerced, forced the anchors or the reporters to be a part of that process,” Clooney said. “They had to do it themselves. To borrow the credibility of the anchor and the reporter is beyond the pale.”

Clooney said he would have quit, become a cab driver or something, rather than read a boss’s editorial as his own.
