I was about to say do they all have the same producer/holding company? Affiliated stations tend to share byline staff writers

This isn't unusual when you understand how news networks operate.

Also this just feed into right wing fake news talking points.

Sinclair isn't a great corporation but hey, this message is important. There is a script. No surprises here

I've noticed a trend lately of OPs that that seem innocuous enough at first glance but are sourced from pro-trump/right-wing twitter sources. This is one.

What's up with that?

lol if you think i'm some fucking loser alt-right sleeper account. i'm not going to ignore the medias role in dividing the country because im worried about fox news or their insane audience.

i didn't realize the twitter source is garbage however, so if mods want to lock the thread to deplatform-- go for it.
