/Sinclair’s WGME (Portland, ME) trying to tamp down a bit of a scandal involving video from their newscast.
Some person, posted what they said was video from WGME’s newscast, that showed a drag queen using a sex toy as part of an act.
This is the video that posted many times on social media:

WGME also took to social media to say that was NOT the video that they aired.
WGME did NOT air this. It's clearly manipulated and horribly edited.

Below is the actual story that aired over the weekend. This account has a history of taking our footage out of context and distributing a false narrative to their followers. https://t.co/vd6SPaLL5V pic.twitter.com/95J14wk6AF
Many viewers did not believe WGME’s post, mainly because, many no longer trust the media.
After years of Donald Trump and many on the right trashing the media and calling it “fake news,” people still think WGME is lying and did air the video.
Note: Sinclair, the owner of WGME is a supporter of Donald Trump.
