The Sinclair Controversy Is About the Legacy Media’s Fear of Losing Control

April 6, 2018
Happy Friday from Washington, where the media elite freak out over a conservative-leaning broadcast chain's marketing campaign as if it were, well, a concerted effort to topple a president. Jarrett Stepman seeks calm in the name of real journalism. President Trump, meanwhile, talks tax relief to real people, as Fred Lucas reports. Plus: Armstrong Williams on what's wrong with today's media, Elyssa Koren on the West's bullying at the U.N., Walt Heyer on biology and transgenderism, Steve Bucci on deploying troops on the border, and Kelsey Harkness and Bre Payton with some problematic women. Enjoy the weekend.
