Sinclair Broadcast Group Under Fire for Pushing ‘Propaganda’ on Local News
In May 2017, Maryland-based Sinclair Broadcast Group, Inc., already the nation’s largest owner of local television stations, announced a $3.9 billion deal to purchase the Tribune Media Company, a move that will increase SBG’s holdings to 233 stations in 108 U.S. markets.
Critics complain that Sinclair, the nation's largest owner of local television stations, requires its affiliates to insert conservative commentary in local newscasts.
