A thoughtful follow-up question to our conversation last night, when we talked about the video showing Sinclair anchors reading the same script.

@nexton9news @KyleClark Thank you for this!

@nexton9news Thank you @nexton9news Kyle. I cherish the bond of trust & journalistic integrity that you & your team at 9 News have created. Murrow would be proud!

@nexton9news Thank you for addressing this with your trademark compassion and integrity. My husband and I greatly appreciate knowing we'll get to hear both sides of each story that airs on your newscast. Keep up the good work.😎

@nexton9news Thank you @KyleClark your honesty and candor are what keep me watching. I look forward to you and your glorious matter-of-fact ways. Keeping doing YOU. #HonestNews

@nexton9news @KyleClark Your show allows you to express your opinion. That’s why people watch Next. It’s not the same as the Nightly News. The statement that was quoated was more of a mission statement and should be the goal of main stream media news in my opinion.

@nexton9news You are a great man Kyle. Thank you for using your own words day in and day out.

@nexton9news @KyleClark thanks for taking a clear unambiguous stand Kyle, however simply labeling Sinclair's actions forcing local anchors to read a corporate statement verbatim is way beyond 'wrong'. It's an abuse of power, tyranny by an employer and flat out Orwellian. #SinclairBroadcasting

@nexton9news @KyleClark I get it. I would avoid watching Sinclair stations if I knew they were owners. But how is coordinating a consistent news read across member stations different than CNN, FOX, MSNBC broadcasting a singular message through one outlet to everyone?

@nexton9news Kyle, good piece. I’d like to ask you this question, though, what would you do if you were ordered to read something like the Sinclair Manifesto? Would you refuse and face being fired? 1/

@nexton9news Thank you @KyleClark . I appreciate your honesty. Keep up your great work.💕

@nexton9news Sinclair is nothing more then propaganda news bent on manufacturing fake news for their listeners...it's basically a version of FOX News on a local level. This, combined with the decline of our newspapers worries me greatly.

@LaandWiles @chrisvanderveen @jeremyjojola Lara, is you argument that the story wasn't written by @KyleClark ? We did not say he writes every word of the show. We also don't run standard/generic stories as handouts on Next. We cover similar topics, but the report was written and checked by the 9Wants to Know team.
