Sinclair has been accused of pushing a right-wing agenda without disclosing a political bias.
"...We're concerned about the troubling trend of irresponsible, one sided news stories plaguing our country. The sharing of biased and false news has become all too common on social media," the script says. "Some members of the media use their platforms to push their own personal bias and agenda..."
"This is extremely dangerous to our democracy."
Sinclair owns or operates 176 TV stations, including NBC 3 (WSTM-TV), CW 6 (WSTQ) and CBS 5 (WTVH) in Syracuse. The company recently struck a $3.9 billion deal to acquire 42 more stations from Tribune Media, potentially reaching 72 percent of Americans.
