The crazy thing, though, is how frequently that Sinclair propaganda video Karl links to below is used *by* right wingers, insisting it's evidence of *mainstream media* "leftist" propaganda.
It's not an opinion. I'm not making it up. Right wing propaganda is all pervasive and very effective. I understand its impact is difficult to measure, but why is it just...not mentioned in conversations about polling or U.S. citizen political beliefs?

Sinclair stations are well known for forcing their news anchors to read right-wing propaganda.
After all, that was the whole point of the rightwing owners buying “mainstream” news - to use the “ neutral brand of local news and push it right-ward. What’s most fascinating is that nobody on the left seems to know what to do about it or has any plan to stop/jam any of this.
This is @bubbaprog.ilovecitr.us 's work.
It’s left of the position they want to define as the center
There's a heads we win tails you lose aspect to this. Sinclair doesn't care if the video is shared in that way. Whenever trust in the media - and social trust in general - declines, it's an ideological win.
Dude they could draw a face on their thumb and tell them its trump & they would believe them. The base isn't very bright & will accept anything as being evidence that they chose wisely & are on the winning team. Its a bit rough, but totally on brand for me, I am just waiting for a flavoraid moment.
you can tell it's leftist because sometimes the news anchors are minorities
