Local papers are dying. This is good news.

If The Sun starts running “Mallard Fillmore” and “Funky Winkerbean,” look out.

Sinclair Media, which is based in Cockeysville, is an extreme right wing news outlet. They've bought up a lot of local news stations and turned them into mouthpieces for the GQP.

A 2019 study in the American Political Science Review found that "stations bought by Sinclair reduce coverage of local politics, increase national coverage and move the ideological tone of coverage in a conservative direction relative to other stations operating in the same market."[5][6] The company has been criticized by journalists and media analysts for requiring its stations to broadcast packaged video segments and its news anchors to read prepared scripts that contain pro-Trump editorial content, including warnings about purported "fake news" in mainstream media, while Trump has tweeted support for watching Sinclair over CNN and NBC.
