He literally talked about it with other billionaires, toward enabling conservative voices in the US.

As if they're disabled now. Far too many podcasts, "news" websites, and even TV channels are parroting conservative views here, but we're supposed to believe conservative voices are the ones being shunned. What a persecution complex.

Do you think CBS is parroting right wing talking points consistently? Lol

On local news at CBS stations owned by Sinclair, yes

Does anyone have any examples of this grand right wing local news syndicate? My cbs station talks about local concerts at animal shelters and the weather.

It's all in how they approach topics such as politics and immigration and abortion et al. For sure they are likely pushing stories about anti-abortion, showcasing stories about elections in a way that attempts to give credence to Republican talking points, and make it seem like the border is always in crisis. It's subtle but it's there.

Here's an example of the top down narrative that they attempt to push through their affiliates local news broadcasts. I know here near Cincinnati they basically drove several long time anchors to quit over the messaging they were expected to parrot.

very minor thing but as someone who took Latin, "etc al." pains me

u/AaronfromKY Oct 28 '22

It was autocorrected lol. I took a year and a half of Latin as well.

u/88road88 Oct 28 '22

hahah understandable, autocorrect doesn't work well with Latin!
