Yup, Sinclair is a cancer to local news. I wish more people were aware that WJLA is not your friendly local station but it part of a massive company that feeds scripts and agendas to its affiliates.

The reference to "reckless disregard for the truth" also hints that a libel suit may be coming.

It seems like there’s an agenda because there is an agenda. WJLA is owned by Sinclair Broadcast Group.

Pointless thread: FCC does not police content.
Lots of examples that they will not do so.

Libel has never been included in the first amendment. You can print the truth; you can’t knowingly and continuously print lies that are harmful.

ALL of those news stories reported that LCPS was — at least — incompetent at protecting students during the school day.


But Nick and WJLA posted outright lies, knowingly, that’s the difference.

Loudoun covered up two sexual assaults on school property and doubled down on protecting adults over kids.

I hope other divisions sue them too. ABC/Nick has been so harmful over the past few years.
