Sinclair Pulls the Plug on Anti-Fauci Propaganda — This Time
Will the broadcasting company now drop a program attacking the prominent public health expert, or just repackage it?
Not causing a pandemic.

For the most part, the company operates in small, conservative metropolitan locations. Most viewers aren’t likely to be aware of the Sinclair brand, because the thousands of hours of programming it produces each week air on channels affiliated with such household names as ABC, CBS, Fox, NBC, Telemundo and Univision.
So when Sinclair got set to broadcast a hit piece over the weekend suggesting that Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, was responsible for the Covid-19 pandemic, millions of its viewers might have believed they were hearing the truth — instead of, say, irresponsible and dangerous propaganda.
