For some added context:
It surprised me last week to hear Sharyl Attkisson, host of the weekly news program “Full Measure” on KOMO-TV, announced that she was going was to do a program on how terrible government regulations are.
Sure enough, Sunday evening, her program comes on. Attkisson says government regulations are the biggest problem in America, interviews a woman who sells food from a trailer about how oppressive regulations are, then interviews a woman from the Heritage Foundation about regulations.
...
“Full Measure” is broadcast to 43 million households in 79 markets on 162 Sinclair Broadcast Group stations, including ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, CW, MyTV, Univision, and Telemundo affiliates. It also streams live Sunday mornings at 9:30 a.m. ET.
...
Attkisson, who worked for CBS news for two decades, resigned in 2014. Attkisson had become a polarizing figure at the network, because some saw evidence of a political agenda, particularly against President Barack Obama, according to the Politico article “Sharyl Attkisson Resigns From CBS News.”
A New York Times article,
“Sinclair Requires TV Stations to Air Segments That Tilt to the Right,” reports the staff at KOMO doesn’t appreciate Sinclair’s programming directives, especially the must-runs, which they view as too politically tilted and occasionally of poor quality.
...
On April 1, Sharyl Attkisson did a segment on the so called Snowflake Syndrome. That’s where students, usually students of color, feel unsafe due to “microaggressions” such as constant slights and insults, and they want safe spaces on campus where they can avoid them. Attkisson again offered slanted reporting, interviewing only those who think that think people should be able to say anything they want on campus, including hate speech, because it’s protected by the First Amendment of the constitution.
KOMO-TV is ‘required’ to air biased news that leans to the right by its owner
I don't believe she's someone we should be looking to for honest criticism.
