Sinclair Broadcast Group is owned by David S. Smith, a controversial figure who forces his stations to report skewed and inaccurate right wing propaganda. Sinclair struck a deal with Jared Kushner during the 2016 Presidential campaign to provide special access to Trump in exchange for broadcasting of campaign rallies without commentary. In April 2017 Sinclair hired Boris Epshteyn, a Russian immigrant and former Senior Advisor to the Trump campaign, as its senior political analyst after leaving his role as Special Assistant to the Trump Administration. Sinclair is acting unethically as the Trump State Media. As recently reported by Deadspin Sinclair Broadcast reporters are lockstep with a narrative that champions the President's inaccurate and blatant lies and attacks on the true media as fake. We deserve a fair press free from being state sponsored.
