Your welcome, here's a couple more. I suggest you read all of them to be more informed about the changes to local news media across the country to a slanted propaganda machine, that has more to do with cult style programming of the populace, than it does to "News".

Sinclair Scandal Foreshadows the Danger of Growing Media Consolidation.
"That takes place within the context that just six media companies own most of the major media influencers, as reported by WebpageFX and other media analysts. This ironically does not include Sinclair Broadcast Group, which is run by the family of company founder Julian Sinclair Smith. However, the growth of Sinclair into a behemoth of television news represents a trend that has been accelerating since Ronald Reagan's presidency: the centralization of media control, accompanied by the narrowing of the range of voices and perspectives offered in mainstream news outlets.
With the elimination of the fairness doctrine in 1987, the gates were opened for the kind of mandated local station propaganda on behalf of the Trump administration Sinclair is engaged in. As Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting (FAIR) reported back in 2005"

FCC Commissioner Slams Her Own Agency for Policies 'Custom-Built' to Favor Sinclair-Tribune Merger

"This is a moment that requires a public outcry on behalf of diverse and competitive, community-focused and service-oriented local news. That outcry must, as a beginning, demand that Pai recuse himself from deliberations regarding the Sinclair-Tribune deal."

Internal Memo Shows Sinclair Threatening Employees to Keep Mouths Shut About 'Must-Read' Scripts
"Everything Sinclair gives us or forces upon us is met with uproar, but we have no choice," one employee said.
Sinclair Broadcast Group really doesn't want its employees talking to the press about the Trumpian "fake news" script it has recently been forcing local news anchors to recite.
"This was made clear by a memo warning staff at the Sinclair-owned station KATU in Portland, Oregon that "giving statements to the media or sharing negative information about the company can have huge implications."
