Well, yes and no…

 

From @WeAreSinclair:

We are incredibly aware of the dangers of COVID-19 and our stations across 81 markets have remained steadfast in covering their communities with a focus on safety and adherence to local protocols and regulations nationwide.

 

After further review, we have decided to delay this episode's airing. We will spend the coming days bringing together other viewpoints and provide additional context. All stations have been notified not to air this and will instead be re-airing last week’s episode in its place.

 

We would also like to clarify that at no point did we air the "Plandemic" documentary, nor do we have plans to. This documentary has been widely discredited and we as a company do not support the baseless claims that were rebutted during the original segment.

 

Further, we valiantly support Dr. Fauci and the work he and his team are doing to further prevent the spread of COVID-19 and are proud to have welcomed him to "America This Week" as well as our stations via our national bureau to update and inform viewers.

There s so much bull shit here it would be ways to miss one little nugget: “we valiantly support Dr. Fauci”

Valiant means brave or courageous. Are they calling themselves brave for supporting Fauci? Are they acknowledging that the choice is between Fauci and Trump?

My Spidey senses tell me Sinclair got a whiff of possible lawsuits FOX News may face for its COVID-19 coverage and decided they did not want to be included in it.

I think you might be correct. 

Plus, in terms of ratings, I don’t think a QAnon/4chan level conspiracy theory is going to draw an especially big audience.

According to USA Today, Media Matters caught my local Sinclair station (WCHS) airing the Fauci segment over the weekend. (What do you know; I wasn’t watching.)
