President Trump on Monday targeted “fake news networks” for criticizing Sinclair Broadcasting Group for being biased, when CNN and NBC are “the most dishonest groups of people” he has ever met.
“So funny to watch Fake News Networks, among the most dishonest groups of people I have ever dealt with, criticize Sinclair Broadcasting for being biased. Sinclair is far superior to CNN and even more Fake NBC, which is a total joke,” he tweeted Monday.

Over the last month, local news stations across the nation run by Sinclair have been reciting the same speech to their viewers, warning about fake news and promising to report fairly and accurately to their audience.
Since reports of the identical reporting, those within the company, other news organizations, and even public figures have criticized the move by Sinclair Group.
Sinclair Broadcasting Group is the country’s largest broadcaster, owning and operating over 193 television stations across the U.S.
