The biggest story yesterday was clearly The NY Times peice about how Donald Trump has not paid any taxes for years and two years while he was President, he only paid $750 bucks.

But, when you look at the “must run” stories sent down by Sinclair to their stations, you won’t find the tax story. You find these stories instead:

The  Frazao lacks in real reporting and relies heavily on a video posted by the hard-right Project Veritas.

Project Veritas is known to have doctored or edited video to suit their agenda.

In the Frazao story posted on the WJLA website, it says,” These claims have not been independently verified by Sinclair.”

What?

Then why the hell are you doing the story?

Oh, wait, because it fits the Trump talking points.

Never mind.
