Oliver took on Sinclair Media. We think of Fox as the Republican propaganda network. Sinclair is even more dangerous because they own local TV stations around the country and push out Conservative propaganda. It's quite an eye opener. <br /> <br />Sinclair is in the midst of making their empire even bigger with a $3.9 billion merger with Tribune Media that would significantly consolidate local television networks. <br /> <br />You should also be aware of this from December: <br /> <br />Kushner: We struck deal with Sinclair for straighter coverage <br /> <br />"Kushner said the agreement with Sinclair, which owns television stations across the country in many swing states and often packages news for their affiliates to run, gave them more access to Trump and the campaign, according to six people who heard his remarks. <br /> <br />In exchange, Sinclair would broadcast their Trump interviews across the country without commentary, Kushner said." <br /> <br />http://www.politico.com/story/2016/12/trump-campai... <br /> <br />The Hill has the video of John Oliver explaining Sinclair and their methods.
