Sinclair over pays to hire the worst people

Post by sinklair » Tue Dec 26, 2023 11:30 pm

Sinclair’s track record of hiring only the very worst journalists is part of the story about the fall of former 60 Minutes correspondent Lara Logan in the Atlantic:

Sinclair pays big bucks and has nothing to show for: Lara Logan, Sharyl Attkisson, Eric Bolling, Boris “rocks in mouth” Epstein, Jamie Allman, and other conspiracy theorists. Yet it lays off poorly paid local journalists. Imagine that…

At a time when Sinclair won’t send journalists cover the college football national championship — at a time when they’ve forced Bally Sports into bankruptcy— at a time when they’ve laid off dozens of people at WEYI-WSMH and are unable to produce or air local morning newscasts — what’s the appropriate Sinclair response???

How about give big promotions and pay raises to even more top heavy corporate personnel and yes men to Chris the Ripper and David “I Love Prostitutes” Smith.

Their new lawyer — who come from the National Association of Broadcasters where he advocated for ATSC 3.0 NextGen TV — even sucked up to his new boss by calling him “visionary”.

I don’t know many people who believe that CEOs giving big promotions and pay raises while laying off underpaid local journalists is a “visionary “ move. Bunch of idiots.
