Sinclair Broadcast Group, the right-wing media behemoth swallowing up local news stations and spitting them out as zombie GOP propaganda mills, is ramping up pro-Trump content in the lead-up to the 2024 election. Its latest plot? A coordinated effort across at least 86 local news websites to suggest that Joe Biden is mentally unfit for the presidency, based on edited footage and misinformation.

is flooding a vast network of local news websites with misleading articles suggesting Biden is mentally unfit

At least 3 articles published this month falsely suggest BIDEN POOPED HIMSELF during an event

The thinly disguised political attacks are given the imprimatur of mainstream media brands, including NBC, ABC, & CBS
