The End of Local News? Why I’m Saying Alarm Bells are Ringing at the New FCC Policy
by Winston Wendell For years, I studied the relationship between information and society. But the latest policy changes in Washington are deeply troubling. This week, the Federal Communications Commission, in a 2-1 vote, overturned a key media ownership rule protecting the diversity of viewpoints in our news and entertainment. This decision, which has been made by a Republican majority, allows bigger corporations to acquire a significantly greater share of local news. If this is to be […] -

"Sinclair’s ABC stations will resume airing 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' after preempting the late-night TV show in protest over Kimmel's comments about Charlie Kirk's killer."

Many say that what Jimmy Kimmel said about Charlie Kirk was what got him cancelled:
"The Maga Gang desperately trying to characterise this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it."But I think it was what he in the same monologue said about Trump:
"This is not how an adult grieves the murder of someone he calls a friend. This is how a four-year-old mourns a goldfish." -
Does anyone have a handy list of #KATU advertisers in the #Portland (#PDX) area? They need to get some letters... #censorship #SinclairBroadcastGroup #fascism
Also it's nuts that the Fox affiliate is now the only non-nazi local television station in the area, or at least openly so.

Local news channels across the country used a nearly identical script
to push coverage of a controversial Wall Street Journal article questioning President Joe Biden’s mental fitness.An eerie supercut compiled by Popular Information shows how anchors on dozens of channels owned by 💥Sinclair Broadcast Group 💥parroted the story in an apparently coordinated fashion.
Each segment deferred to national correspondent Matthew Galka’scomment that Biden’s questionable mental acuity could be an “election decider.”
However, the Wall Street Journal story is reported without highlighting the concerns raised about the article by prominent media critics, who attacked the piece for its lack of balance in sourcing.
Popular Information focuses on Sinclair, which operates 185 local TV stations across the nation.
The writers point to polls which suggest local news is much more highly trusted medium and that pushing “attacks on Biden’s mental fitness under the guise of ‘local news’ is an extremely powerful tactic.”

The #SinclairBroadcastGroup owns or
operates 185 local TV stations across the country, & dozens of their stations aired a segment from national correspondent Matthew Galka citing a WSJ article that makes dubious attacks on Biden’s age & mental awareness. The stations that aired the segment introduced it using startlingly similar, if not identical language, Popular Information & Public Notice newsletters reported.
