25-66 carrying SBG Conspiracy Theories

Post by sinklair » Sun Sep 06, 2020 6:13 am

Another bad week for journalism at the Trump News Network/AKA 25-66...

Our dear corporate overlords forced us to run another slanted news story that misrepresented a CDC report that insinuated that COVID-19 deaths were inflated. The story was widely criticized.

It got so bad that Dave Bondy had to do a second piece to unsuccessfully put the toothpaste back into the tube:

This is another example of a failure of basic journalistic principles by the In Over Her Head News Director who refuses to do anything but to carry the water of Scott Livingtrump and Lame Michaelson who want to turn 25-66 into a local OAN affiliate. Just look at our Facebook feed. Anytime Trump is in front of a camera, we are carrying it live. No one corrects misstatements. No context. Just free advertising for the President.

Where is the new GM on helping the station get back to its core mission of covering local news? She’s so far been MIA. Not a good start.

What is OAN?

I wasn't aware Scott Livingston was at 25-66. Is he related to Pat Livingston at 7&4?

Hey Organman,

No Pat and Scott aren’t related.

OAN is a far right (even more conservative than Fox News) cable operation — Similar to Steve Bannon’s NewsMax channel.

Actually, OAN is even farther right than Newsmax, and has since replaced Fox News as Trump's favorite:

Correct. R Bedell is wrong as usual.
