Reading from the Sinclair Script: Why some journalists felt they had no choice
(The Investigators with Diana Swain) After a video montage of Sinclair news anchors reading the same script sparked controversy this week, journalists from Bloomberg investigated an unusual employment contract that some Sinclair employees are bound by. Watch The Investigators Saturdays at 9:30 pm ET and Sundays at 5:30 pm ET on CBC News Network.

the video isn't just about sinclair media. It's just a really effective way of making the point that there are far, far, far too few dissenting voices criticizing government these days. Whether it's everyone watching a local news station being nothing more than a derivative of one channel, or everyone tuning into national-coverage such as cnn, fox, or even (gasp!) the cbc, it just points out how few people can decide what we see, and thus, make an influence on our perspective on issues in the world. And as the video so aptly points out 'this is extremely dangerous to our democracy' no matter where you live.

What is the difference between reading a prepared statement from HQ and reading a story off the newswire? In one the anchor has no choice as to wording in the other the anchor can take some license within the scope of facts. Calling anchors "journalists" is stretching the definition.

@@philtherealdeal100 Where did you hear that? Definitely not true. I'm not saying it hasn't happened, for instance with Dan Rather and the Killian Documents. He was an oldskool journalist though, and he messed that one up big time. These news anchors are just talking heads that read off TelePrompTers. Most producers would never allow them to do their own journalism for prime time due to the potential fallout of getting it wrong. They usually license new stories, from wire sources such as AP, and retrofit them for the on air broadcast.

That kind of contract should be considered criminal simply for the fact that it can be used to gag journalists who are trying to do the job they are meant to do. I hope the one gentleman's lawyers consider utilizing the First Amendment as grounds for the illegality of those contracts. While this does not involve an act of Congress, Sinclair is blatantly acting to abridge the freedom of these journalists to speak (they have issued a company-wide gag order) and act as they would wish - and using the court system to do so. Yet another example of civil law being used for criminal enterprise.

I've stoped watching any type of media and tv all together nearly 20 years ago, and I encourage you to stop too. Brain washing machine nothing else.
And here's another one from an upload done back in 2013 re "easter bunny". This is OBVIOUSLY something that happens (and HAS been happening) all the time (w/o us knowing). Sinclair just happen to have put it out there in a big enough way so we the people open our eyes. kzread.info/dash/bejne/Y6Nt2o-ydNy0Z5s.html&t=2m0s
Since when does a newsreader write their own script? Their job is to read what is on autocue and look professional. Why would they complain and how would they not know company policy?
This looks soo scripted .

Funny how this is a story on the CBC. Irony or hypocrisy?

At least I didn’t have to pay for that specific propaganda. I pay too much for CBC as it is. The savings are wracking up. The Bloomberg reporter can barely speak.
"Not overly Partisan"?😆😆😆 Yeah, ok. That's why they keep repeating the word Democracy over and over again even though we aren't one.
Who said quit? Just refuse to do it. Make them fire you.

Nobody made them sign the contracts. Nobody forced them to say anything.
Canon law, and the constitution say no man is allowed to enter an agreement with a corporation. Even if they signed it , if they brought the constitution with them and canon law, to get out of it better than an attorney, any competent attorney, could sue the attorney that created the contract for fraud. And Sinclair.
They only said something because they got rumbled.
But no one talking about the other side. They can't let them go without paying their salary.

If those employees really wanted to do something about it they could just all walk. See if Sinclair could handle the legal fees to take thousands of people to court. They’d also have to go dark with no workforce and then hire second rate talent. If that talent would even want to go somewhere that practices gangster employment ethics.
