To the Editor:

I am extremely uncomfortable knowing that our local television station, WLOS, continues to advance political content under the veil of news.

The most recent advocacy presentation by Sinclair Broadcasting Corporation on the legacy of one of President Trump’s administrators, Scott Pruitt, was aired this past week. Enough of this public relations media blitz from SBC! 

Any individual or group must realize this is pure propaganda. In light of their public relations move with a segment recommending audiences should be aware of “fake news,” this assault on reason seems ironically hypocritical. This station, WLOS, with its double-down support of this administration, clearly identifies itself with clandestine, if not nefarious, public manipulation strategies.

So, my question is simple. When will we see and hear the next assault on our democratic principles through the manipulative tactics of Sinclair Broadcasting Corporation and its mouthpiece in Western North Carolina, WLOS? Propaganda or news, it remains your choice.
