Featured Video/Image/Song of the moment - Not a suggestion thread

  • 🔧 At about Midnight EST I am going to completely fuck up the site trying to fix something.
To add context to this:
Sinclair Broadcast Group is the second largest owner of local news stations in the US. They have a list of required stories for their local news stations to cover and then give some autonomy for local news. They gave all their stations this script to read. It seemed to shock people that didn't know local news stations were owned by one company. Both Sinclair and Nexstar are publicly traded so it isn't even a secret. Redditors ate this up and used it as proof conservatives were being manipulated by large media interests while ignoring the media they consume owned by even larger media interests.
It's not just TV. iHeartMedia owns 800+ radio stations. They advertise their streaming app so it's easier to tell which stations are owned by them.
