Trump bashes CNN, NBC, defends Sinclair Broadcast Group after 'fake news' speeches by local anchors

President Donald Trump on Monday touted Sinclair Broadcast Group, which owns more than two dozen NBC news affiliates, as being "far superior to CNN and even more Fake NBC."
The defense of Sinclair came amid a seven-tweet flurry Monday morning, in which the president weighed in on topics ranging from immigration to mega-retailer Amazon's tax status.


@realDonaldTrump
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. Sinclair is far superior to CNN and even more Fake NBC, which is a total joke.

Sinclair's local broadcast networks drew national attention in March, after dozens of television anchors across the country recited an identical speech warning that some outlets are promulgating "biased and false news" in order to "push their own personal bias."

"This is extremely dangerous to our democracy," the script read.

Sinclair, which owns or operates 193 television stations, is the largest broadcaster in the U.S.

How can anyone watch the footage of the local anchors ALL spitting out the same ignorant bile and NOT recognize it for what it is, propaganda?

This is insanity. Trump, his gaggle of insane followers and these media companies like Fox and Sinclair need to be broken up, the Fairness Doctrine reinstated and all executives currently involved in this stuff investigated for any and all crimes related to their efforts, their funding and their motives.

Enough already...the bullshit is overflowing.
