Summary:
A Deadspin video circulated over the weekend depicts dozens of Sinclair TV news anchors reciting the same scripted message warning against “fake stories.”
The video put in stark visual terms what for weeks had largely been an academic debate about media consolidation and Sinclair’s efforts to promote a consistent message across its stations.
The 98-second video, posted Saturday, has been viewed by millions of people and provoked a tweet by President Donald Trump supporting the corporation on Monday.
