Supercut Of Sinclair TV Stations Reading Same Biden Slam Is A Repeat Offender
HuffPost
The conservative media chain's stations feasted on a Wall Street Journal report about Joe Biden's age with the same script.
A supercut posted online Tuesday shows TV news reporters at Sinclair Broadcast Group stations spouting the same script in a takedown of Joe Biden. (Watch the video below.)
Sinclair jumped all over a widely questioned Wall Street Journal report that relied heavily on anonymous sources to assert that the 81-year-old president was experiencing cognitive decline. A prominent voice identified in the article, titled “Behind Closed Doors, Biden Shows Signs of Slipping,” was former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), who reportedly had raved privately about Biden’s sharpness in the past.
Perhaps seeing the Journal article as a potential blow to the Democratic incumbent, Sinclair appeared to arrange a monotonously similar intro for many of its stations affiliated with major networks.
In the supercut, phrases like “calling into question the mental fitness of President Joe Biden” and “the issue could be an election decider” ― or small variations thereof ― play like a bad song on repeat.
Independent journalists Aaron Rupar and Judd Legum reported that the repetition was an example of how Sinclair outlets “launder hit pieces into the news cycle.”
