    Sinclair media is equally disturbing, but very few people question the reach it has into American homes.

    Not to mention the consolidation of the rest of the news landscape.

    There’s several levels of trust here. I don’t trust TikTok to serve me anything critical of China, and I know they tend to downshift certain lifestyle creators. But I trust TikTok to give me better on the ground information about a current/emergent event than I do our American corporate media companies, who regularly black out certain topics with near impunity.

      I worked for a TV station that got bought by Sinclair. I will say this repeatedly and with my whole chest:

      Fuck Sinclair. Easily the worst employer I’ve ever had. They are the scummiest of the scummiest media companies. I can accept putting profit over everything, that’s capitalism. They seemed to go out of their way to do things in the least moral way, even if it cost them money. Fuck them. They are the modern face of evil in America.
