U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez castigated House Republicans for pursuing massive cuts to Medicaid "in the dead of night" as a committee markup hearing on the GOP's legislation dragged on into the early hours of the morning.
Really? Anyone can order local TV news stations across the country to read scripted propaganda of their choosing? You’re just going to straight-up deny Sinclair Broadcast Group’s unbalanced political power exists?
I don’t think that’s what you think it is. Instead of paying multiple individual script writers for the same story across multiple small stations they probably have one script writer whose script gets reused for each station. I bet news stations buy scripts from each other all the time to save money and time. The anchors are not just speaking off the cuff. Someone has to write the script. Why reinvent the wheel. If you have a larger station fully staffed, use those resources and trickle down to the smaller stations who don’t have the resources.
I was speaking to the fact that someone cut that up and implied it’s some secret brainwashing effort. I’m saying anyone can take clips and infer whatever they want to people. It worked on you
I’m really not sure what point you think you’re making. Of course they’re all reading from the same script; that’s obvious! In fact, my point was that right-wing propagandists have the power to write the script and force it to be read, while left-wing people don’t because they don’t own a fuckton of TV stations.
I feel like you’re being intentionally obtuse. Stop it.
