Sinclair Broadcast Group is the largest owner of TV stations in the country. They have long been known for the right-wing slant of some of their coverage. And, infamously, they have been known to give their anchors scripts to read on-air. The most recent example is the injection of a deceptive “hit piece” on Joe Biden into local newscasts, with the anchors introducing the segment with identical lead-ins.
So, where are the Sinclair stations in Kentucky? Vox Media has built an online app that you can use to see if there are any in your viewing area. I used their app to build the list below. Check it to see if one of the stations you regularly watch is on the list, and if it is, be careful not to take their coverage at face value. (Which is actually good advice for all sources of information.)
