"Over the last week or so, local television news anchors across the the country have joined together to paradoxically warn viewers about the 'troubling trend of irresponsible, one-sided news stories plaguing our country.'"

"The identical, seemingly earnest editorial messages paid lip service to the importance of fact-checking and unbiased reporting, but they also complained about 'false news' and 'fake stories.' If that seems to echo the rhetoric of President Trump, it’s probably because the statement was written by one of his allies. The anchors were forced to read the so-called journalistic responsibility messages word for word by their employer, the conservative-leaning Sinclair Broadcast Group, the largest owner of television stations in the country. The features were one of Sinclair’s now infamous 'must-run”' segments, consisting of conservative commentary that every Sinclair-owned station is required to air.... Deadspin’s Timothy Burke published... a.. terrifying version... which at one point shows 30 of the segments synced up in unison," writes New York Magazine, about this chillingly hilarious viral video:

AND: Scott Adams periscoped about it.
