Trump Supporters Protest in D.C. to "Stop the Steal"—Jon Farina LIVE
One of the many talking points they use is the myth of the Liberal Media.
Liberal media? There is NO Liberal media. There is CORPORATE MAINSTREAM MEDIA and CONSERVATIVE MEDIA. BOTH are owned by CONSERVATIVE OWNERSHIP.
Sinclair Broadcast Group is a publicly traded American telecommunications company that is controlled by the family of company founder Julian Sinclair Smith. The company is the largest television station operator in the United States by number of stations, and largest by total coverage; owning or operating a total of 233 stations across the country in over 100 markets (covering 40% of American households), many of which are located in the South and Midwest.
Sinclair has been scrutinized by multiple media outlets for consistently favoring conservative politics. They are considered a rival to right biased Fox News for the conservative audience. The Seattle Times has written a piece documenting Sinclair’s right wing bias. Further, according to the Center for Responsive Politics (Open Secrets) the Sinclair Broadcast Group has donated $1,143,508 or 80% to Republican candidates since 1994.
Not only THAT. Right wing radio has a monopoly on talk radio. There is NO Liberal radio.
These people do not FACTCHECK. They are brainwashed by conservative media which IS mainstream media and even use their talking points.
Trump supporters and conservatives in general have been GASLIGHTED by conservative leadership and conservative media. This is DUNNING KRUGER in action.
