Eric Bolling, host of a show on the Sinclair Broadcast Group, said he disagreed with his network’s decision last year to force its anchors to read a script about “biased and false news.”

In spring 2018, Sinclair, which owns or operates 193 television stations, instructed anchors to read a script expressing their concern “about the troubling trend of irresponsible, one-sided news stories plaguing our country,” which was widely seen as echoing of President Trump’s criticism of the media.
