U.S. right
Sinclair is the largest owner of local TV stations in the U.S., operating or servicing nearly 200 stations carrying ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, and other network affiliations in dozens of markets. It is controlled by the politically conservative Smith family, and it has a long record of pushing centrally produced, right-leaning commentary and 'must-run' segments into local newscasts. Its coverage of the second Trump administration has generally leaned favorable, though local affiliates' day-to-day news reporting varies by market and network affiliation.
