Proof that the left wing media is coordinated in their biased and fake-news. Oh wait… this is actually dozens of anchors from conservative-leaning Sinclair Broadcast Group, the largest owner of television stations in the country paradoxically warn viewers about the “troubling trend of irresponsible, one-sided news stories plaguing our country.”
The anchors were forced to read the so-called journalistic responsibility messages word for word by their employer. The features were one of Sinclair’s “must-run” segments that consist of conservative commentary that every Sinclair-owned station is required to air.

Trump responded to scrutiny of the broadcaster today (via Twitter… of course) saying: “So funny to watch Fake News Networks, among the most dishonest groups of people I have ever dealt with, criticize Sinclair Broadcasting for being biased." https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/980799183425802240
