They have infiltrated the free press with propaganda outlets demanding equal press standing. They will step up the ugly insinuations and insults. Today alone...Nancy and an attack on Joe B. We are entering into a new and dangerous phase, I fear.

Sinclair Forces Local Stations to Air ‘Must-Run’ Segment Defending Tear-Gassing Migrants (Video)
“Ultimately, American authorities had to use tear gas to stop the attacks,” former Trump official Boris Epshteyn says in his latest commentary

Sinclair Broadcasting Group, which owns about 200 local news outlets across the country, required its stations to air a segment defending the Border Patrol’s use of tear gas against migrants crossing the border on Sunday.

“The migrant crisis on our southern border has greatly escalated,” Sinclair political analyst and former Trump administration official Boris Epshteyn says in the “must-run” segment. “Dozens of migrants attacked U.S. border enforcement by throwing rocks and bottles. Ultimately, American authorities had to use tear gas to stop the attacks.”

On Sunday, a migrant “caravan” march escalated at the US-Mexico border in Tijuana, as desperate asylum seekers attempted to cross the border en masse. US Border Patrol agents responded by firing tear gas that spread into the crowd that included children.

During the segment, Epshteyn slammed “some on the left, such as Democrat Congresswoman Maxine Waters” who “were immediately up in arms about our president and his team standing up for our men and women in uniform and for our national security.”

Sinclair Hires Reporter Ousted by Fox News After Sexual Harassment Accusations
“Proud to start the New Year by joining @WeAreSinclair as an investigative reporter,” James Rosen says in a tweet

Sinclair Broadcast Group has extended a lifeline to longtime Fox News veteran James Rosen, who was ousted earlier this year amid reports of sexual misconduct during his tenure as the channel’s chief Washington Correspondent.

“Proud to start the New Year by joining @WeAreSinclair as an investigative reporter in its growing Washington bureau. Stay tuned to this feed for updates on where and when you can catch my reporting,” Rosen said in a tweet.

He also shared a photo with his new colleague, Sharyl Attkisson, who hosts Sinclair’s Sunday Morning program “Full Measure.”

. . .

“He had an established pattern of flirting aggressively with many peers and had made sexual advances toward three female Fox News journalists, including two reporters and a producer,” Folkenflik reported. At least one of the allegations contained in NPR included a claim that Rosen had groped a female Fox News reporter in the back of cab during the winter 2001.
