Misquoting Sources to Make a ‘Better’ Story

Post by sinklair » Tue Aug 17, 2021 7:54 pm

It seems that Sinclair’s head of misinformation/morning news anchor Jan Jeffcoat might need a math lesson to know that “billion” and “trillion” are different.

But don’t let the facts get in the way of reporting a story that tilts to Sinclair’s conservative viewpoint.

And don’t expect 25-66’s In Over Her Head News Director to actually fix the error on our local website.

No wonder why the public doesn’t trust us… if you can’t get the little things right, why should we trust Sinclair to get the big things right?

A trillion here, a trillion there.... Eventually you're talking about real money!
