This is what allowing media consolidation got you, Democrats. Sinclair has been putting its thumb on the scale for decades and you did nothing, even while they were having a measurable negative impact to Democratic support.

Perhaps most blatantly:

Sinclair executive David Smith met with Donald Trump during the 2016 election year, in which he told the future president, “We are here to deliver your message.”

Yeah! The Democrats are the real villains here!! Not the actual fascists running the show, doing the evil, pulling the triggers, deporting the innocent, ignoring the laws… Fuck off with this hindsight blame game shit. Fascism is here and the real blame lies on the American people.
Bad take. It’s not hindsight when everyone was screaming about it for, again, literally well over a decade and no attempt was made by the FCC to regulate it. Maybe you personally weren’t aware of how dangerous this issue was becoming, but many of us were, including, importantly, Congress itself.
So you’re saying that the Republicans planned for this, set in motion the plan and executed the plan, but the Democrats let it happen so it’s on them. Why, I think that’s a page right out of the narcissist handbook.
No, that’s the straw man you’ve created and attributed to me. I’m not going to continue this discussion, because it’s predicated on reading comprehension and good faith.
Ooh you’re one of those types. Gotcha. Enjoy the fall of America from your high horse, buddy!
