CNN’s Brian Stelter: Sinclair Is Echoing ‘Trump’s Anti-News Messaging’ in Attacking Propaganda

EXCERPT:

STELTER: "It's a little bit like the 'Make America great' slogan. Hey, that sounds great, let's make America great again. President Trump used that slogan during the campaign. But when you say that and then you attack immigrants, people start to wonder what you mean by making America great. There is something very similar going on here with Sinclair’s promos. They’re saying, 'Trust us, we're fair, we’re the ones that are honest, don’t believe the others.' That’s sort of an echo of President Trump’s anti-media messaging. I think the other notable piece of this is that President Trump this morning weighed in on Twitter, he said Sinclair is superior to CNN and NBC and other networks. He’s really making people choose or essentially choosing for them news outlets he approves of and news outlets he doesn’t approve of. And clearly he views Sinclair as an approved news source.”
