Just when you thought they couldn't sink any lower.

At least 16 Sinclair television stations ran sponsored gold investment segments featuring white nationalist and antisemitic streamer Stew Peters from May through September of this year. In addition to promoting Peters, who has urged the execution of journalists, the Sinclair segment touted his misinformation-filled anti-vaccine movie Died Suddenly to viewers across the country.
A Sinclair Broadcasting Group spokesperson told Media Matters about the Peters segment: “We were not aware of the association and are reviewing our internal policies on sponsored content. The segment in question is no longer on our air.”
Peters is the host of The Stew Peters Show, which streams on Rumble. He frequently pushes for the death of his perceived enemies, including repeatedly advocating for the executions of people who have backed the COVID-19 vaccines. Peters is so extreme that he recently ran a segment endorsing the executions of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce over the Kansas City tight end’s promotion of the Pfizer vaccine.

How are people like this not criminally prosecuted or institutionalized in a mental ward???
Those who openly advocate for the killing of others based on political beliefs should be sitting in prison.
Morgan Wallen is a piece of garbage.

Why isn't this jeopardizing Broadcast licenses?
I hope the FCC fielded complaints

This doesn't seem to be Flint specific.
Voting for Trump is dumber than playing Russian Roulette with fully loaded chambers.

This absolutely is a Flint topic… it’s the same unethical local news operator that is ruining two local news stations.
Don’t believe for even one second the SVP of “News” Scott Livingston didn’t sign off on this sponsored segment that ran on multiple Sinclair stations across the country. He absolutely did.

It’s laughable for Sinclair to claim it didn’t know about Peters’ background as a conservative commentator with a sketchy past when it comes to anti-Semitic remarks and debunked anti-COVID conspiracy theories. Lame excuse for getting caught and national publications highlighting the issue.
Yet another exhibit why Sinclair’s licenses need to be revoked by the FCC.

Scott Livingston should be fired he should've known about loony and extremist Peters's background was it aired on 25/66? I don't see The FCC revoking Sinclair's licenses just like Fox O&O's when that was Fox News and not on broadcast.

The paid segment originated at a station Scotty directly oversees and was a “must run” for the other stations. He absolutely knew about it. But we do agree that Livingston needs to be fired

Wrong. The flint stations weren't mentioned. This is a NATIONAL story.
