National Debt double standard
National Debt double standard
Practically everyone saw this coming... Sinclair —who spent the last four years of Trump’s exploding national debt — suddenly is fixated on this crisis... and framed it as a Biden created problem.

This is an important issue that deserves a fair debate. Sinclair once again shows it is more interested in forcing its political agenda on our local audience than actually showing us all sides of the debate.

Re: National Debt double standard
So let’s see here...
Sinclair’s douchebag, incredibly GOP biased reporter has an issue with a $1.9 Trillion economic stimulus package but had no issue when 45 cut taxes for the rich by damn near that same amount?
Got it

Re: National Debt double standard
It's politics as usual. Simple as that. That's the system we've built for ourselves here in the United States. Complaining about it is like complaining about water being wet. It's going to take several generations and somehow teaching our children not to act like we do to change anything. Fat chance of stuffing that genie back into the bottle.
Re: National Debt double standard
I just don't like the pork that is always in the bills and the $1.9Trillion only 9% go to COVID relief which it should be way more than 9% should be more like 70%. I wish that pork would have their own bills but if they did that the bills wouldn't pass why they have to put those pet projects into bills so no one knows about it neither party cares about the debt.
Go Pistons, Let's Go Redwings.
Re: National Debt double standard
Master and DAC: I don’t disagree with you. The system is broken and the reporting on what’s in these funding bills is of public interest. But Sinclair brushed aside those exact same criticisms when Trump pushed through similar pork-ladened stimulus packages under his watch. It just shows once again the biased, agenda driven politics from Sinclair corporate must run propaganda stories.
Re: National Debt double standard
Sinclair isn't handing it any different than the other media outlets. None of them are highlighting what's REALLY in this bill. They are all just calling it "Covid Relief" and focusing on the direct cash paid, as if that's the only thing in it.
Re: National Debt double standard
Km: I’m not sure that’s a good thing either. Media outlets shouldn’t cover up the misuse of taxpayer dollars when the company owner politically sides with the President... and then airs a story critical of the spending bill when the opposite political party is in power. This isn’t how journalism works. We should be politically neutral and report on how taxpayer money is being spent. There are arguments both for and against the allocations— get both sides and let viewers decide what’s right because they have the information. However Sinclair continues to only cover one side of the debate when it suits its political agenda.
Re: National Debt double standard
Again, not unique to Sinclair, but an industry problem.
You could actually say that the company owner is being transparent with his support, where they others veil theirs in secrecy.

Re: National Debt double standard
I’m not sure that absolves Sinclair from doing fair, balanced, ethical journalism.
