The Wheeling Alternative
WTOV Steubenville is just following orders
Dropping all pretense of objectivity and fairness, Sinclair Broadcasting’s WTOV-9 recently attacked President Biden’s fitness for office with a questionable Wall Street Journal report
Once again, local station WTOV Steubenville conformed to Sinclair Broadcasting’s rightwing bias by airing a Sinclair-scripted segment on President Biden's supposed mental decline. Earlier today, investigative reporters Judd Legum and Aaron Rupar documented here how Sinclair’s local stations were required to run the same news segment -- a . . .

I’ve been either away or busy for the last week. Today, I decided to catch-up with what the state’s Trump Party has been doing.

Mac Warner now says the election was “stolen” and some actions by law enforcement, election officials, and media were “treasonous”
