More poop from WTOV-9
Our local Steubenville Broadcasting station continues to print and air Sinclair’s anti-Biden propaganda
As a follow-up to last week’s post on Sinclair Broadcasting’s anti-Biden propaganda (see previous post), Judd Legum is out with another Sinclair article which examines the source (the Republican National Committee) for Sinclair's anti-Biden articles and coverage and the extent to which that source distorts news reports. As Legum notes:

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 . . .

With the exception of the weekend edition when local issues are sometimes addressed, the Wheeling Intelligencer’s daily two editorials are very predictable: one will be an (often-dated) editorial concerning West Virginia from another Ogden West Virginia paper and the other will be a mostly . . .
Odds and ends: Fox News and Senator Capito finally mentions Trump
"Fair and balanced" Fox News (of course)

Have I unknowingly slipped into some kind of alternative reality?
Earlier today, John McCabe, Editorial Director for Ogden Newspapers, criticized Fox News tweeting that the news channel was “garbage and an embarrassment to the industry”
I am still stunned. Here was McCabe’s tweet:
When in the world did this level of crap — “mannequin president” — become acceptable? Like @POTUS or not, think he’s doing the job or not, he’s still the president. @FoxNews is garbage and an embarrassment to the industry I give my life to each day. pic.twitter.com/pDDbr4qwPD

“Bad Medicine”?
Mac Warner, with the help of Bon Jovi lyrics, declares for WV governor
Yesterday, West Virginia Secretary of State Mac Warner announced that he was running for governor. According to Ogden's political reporter, Steven Allen Adams:
“The time is right,” Warner said to a crowd of more than 150 of supporters, friends, and fellow military veterans. “You, this community, our state and our nation has . . .
