Original Note:
Sinclair Media Group had their anchors read a scripted statement in 2018. The event was controversial because it demonstrates how news shared by 297 local stations could be controlled by a small, and potentially biased, group of individuals (private or government). https://www.npr.org/2018/04/02/598916366/sinclair-broadcast-group-forces-nearly-200-station-anchors-to-read-same-script https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_stations_owned_or_operated_by_Sinclair_Broadcast_Group
