It was a big deal in Iowa. 19 candidates seeking the Democratic nomination showed up in Cedar Rapids for the for the Iowa Democratic Party Hall of Fame Celebration.

A number of national media, including the Washington Post political reporter Dave Weigel were also on hand to cover the event.

But, Weigel was a bit surprised when he turned on the local Sinclair station and saw such little coverage of the event.

In fact the Sinclair station spent more times on “must runs” and pro-Trump coverage and all but ignored the Democratic candidates.

It’s sad that the Sinclair station is airing propaganda over actual news, but then again it’s not surprising.
