Journalism Fraud

[lovinlife101]

Journalists have one job: to report facts. That is unless you work for the Sinclair Death Star.. then you get to report rumor.

In a Monday corporate must-run story, “reporter” Kristine Frazao alleged voter fraud in Minnesota based on undercover video shot and edited by conservative advocacy group Project Veritas.

In the story 25-66 was forced to run, Frazao even writes that she’s not able to verify Project Veritas’ claims of fraud. If you can’t verify the claims of an advocacy group, then you’re not doing your job... and maybe want to spend another day to do research.

IF the story is true, it’s probably a big story for Minneapolis. However, Sinclair doesn’t have any news stations in Minnesota. Evident by its lack of any real independent reporting. The only reason why it was a story was that it alleged (once again without any verification) that Democratic operatives might have done something wrong but no one knows because so-called Baltimore based “reporters” can’t be bothered to verify facts and instead just run with rumors instead because it’s easier and they then make Sinclair owner David Smith and SVP of News and Fox wannabe Scott Livingston happy.

There was also NO context or perspective added to the story by 25-66’s In Over Her Head News Director. Project Veritas has a sketchy history with “facts”... and that information could have been added... but purposely was left out by both Sinclair and 25-66 management.

25-55: you have one job — report only facts you can prove. Do your dam job.

I wish one of the other stations or M-Live or Flint Beat would call out 25-66 for this sloppy journalism. They won’t. But it would be nice to have an independent news voice in this market. It is a disservice to only have three corporate run TV stations with zero local independence in Flint. Sinclair needs to lose its FCC licenses.

And 25-66’s Master Degree News Director who apparently doesn’t know how to report facts or ethics and needs to resign immediately.

You want facts?

Here are some facts.

1. Sinclair is the media/PR outlet for Republicans.
2. Sinclair hired Bill Harris, the most pro-police newsperson in the history of ever with a clear conflict of interest moonlighting on the side providing "media training" for the cops to look better on TV where he gives them only positive coverage since all cops are saints.
3. YOU voluntarily work for Sinclair, so YOU are part of the problem. You are a soldier in the Sinclair army. If Sinclair is just as racist as the KKK, are you going to infiltrate the KKK to "try to reform it from the inside"?



4. You work there because no serious news organization would hire you.
