From Trump Administration to Sinclair

Post by sinklair » Wed Mar 24, 2021 10:14 pm

Former 25-66 Lansing reporter Nick Minock left Sinclair Broadcasting to become the deputy spokesperson for the US Transportation Department during the Trump Administration. Now that Biden is President, Nick has a big announcement... he’s rejoining Sinclair’s Washington DC station!

And his first story? Reporting on the US Transportation Department...

Can anyone say “conflict of interest?” No wonder why WJLA is a last place station also overseen by 25-66 regional news director Lame Michaelsen.

Who wants to bet that if Minock worked for a Democratic administration that he wouldn’t have been reemployed by Sinclair?

Remember, Minock’s former boss (Elaine Chao) is married to Mitch McConnell. There’s always a GOP angle... because Sinclair doesn’t believe in unbiased reporting... which is why we are now hiring former GOP spokespersons as “reporters”. (However, Nick’s still 1000% better than Boris ‘rocks in his mouth’ Epshteyn)

The Sinclair stench has ruined local news. WSMH and WEYI are so unwatchable now. I would love a FCC waiver to get to watch something better.

Problem is that while you and I understand the complete conservative bias of their news product, there’s way too many people out there who don’t...

What's the real reason why America This Week got pulled? Did Eric Bolling cross the line, even for Sinclair?

Bolling stormed off a BBC interview today — much like the Piers Morgan hissy fit — when his views on racial issues were challenged with logic.

You can see the video here:

Plus, Bolling is running to NewsMax to trash his former colleagues in an attempt to stay relevant:

He considered a run for Congress but decided against it, saying it was too soon after the death of his son.

But he’s fine with podcasting with buddy Brett Farve after being fired from Sinclair for misinformation and from FOX News after a sex scandal:
https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertai ... 289869001/

Interesting that Bolling doesn’t mention those “complications” as reasons he chose not to run for Congress.

Sinclair sure knows how to pick ‘em!
