Over the course of the past few decades, the
conservative media company Sinclair Broadcast Group has been quietly buying up
television stations across the country transforming from a small family company
with three TV stations into a media goliath with entrée to the Oval Office; and
since the election of the Donald Trump as President they have went all in on
supporting his administration and have been inserting pro-Trump political
propaganda into the local newscast that millions of Americans see every day. Joining me today to talk all about Sinclair
Broadcasting and their role in pushing the Trump agenda is Andy Kroll who is a senior reporter for Mother Jones in Washington, DC.
Since we last spoke
with John Nichols of The Nation a lot has happened, from the
President continuing his attacks on Gold Star families to Republicans in the
Senate working hard to give the richest 1% of Americans a massive tax cut. John returns to the show today to talk all
about these issues and whole lot more, John is The Nation’s national-affairs correspondent, a contributing writer
for The Progressive and In These Times and the associate editor
of The Capital Times, the daily
newspaper in Madison, Wisconsin.
