I don’t watch TV. Is this local channel considered apolitical/neutral?
Thanks |

| not at all - The show at 11:30 pm pokes fun of Trump eveyday and my Friend Shawn Yancy hate Trump. Rightwiners watch WJLA ABC 7 for local news. |

Are you seriously asking this? It’s a Fox channel, what do you think?

| Remarkably, Fox 5 news is not rw. They are a good local news station. They are very different than cable Fox News. |

| No, it’s not. If you’re concerned about right-wing propaganda, WJLA is the one to avoid, they’re owned by Sinclair. |

Should clarify (since the question in the title is the opposite of the question in the message), Fox 5 local is not right-wing. |

| No, not at all. I'm super liberal and love Alison Seymour and Good Day DC and Fox 5 news in general. It's a strong local news source. |

I thought Fox 5 was RW?
Never heard this about channel 7. Channel 7 shows in the evening are some of the most liberal ive seen. ( Modern Family as one example) |

The prime time lineup is ABC. The local ABC affiliate is channel 7 WJLA and is owned by the right wing Sinclair. |

Fox 5 is fine.
Sinclair's WJLA 7 news is partisan junk. Sinclair makes local affiliates run segments of right wing disinformation and opinions. Here's a stunning montage of local news anchors reading Sinclair's statement all over the country -- clearly not their personal viewpoint. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fHfgU8oMSo |

| I’m in media relations. Fox 5 is great to work with and rarely gets facts wrong. Our mostly-liberal faculty enjoy working with them on-air and off. |

| Fox 5 is actually a delightful local news station - very similar to the small town news I came from. NBC4 seems super high budget, and that's fine too. I love Fox 5 because it doesn't switch over to national news at 7AM... it just keeps going with the same low budget, but very local news you need. It's my go to in a snow/traffic emergency. FWIW you ever get the chance, check out Fox 5 on Sunday morning - boy - it's like a high school news channel. They legit don't give AF. And it's awesome. |
