    Of course it was scripted....they were all given the text to read. It happens everyday. News people read a teleprompter. 
    Sinair broadcasting owns seversl stations including local: Fox, ABC, NBC, CW, Univison, Comet, MeTV, TVOne, AntenaTV and some others. ....
    Sinclair had all their stations ready a prepared statement about fake news/one sided news, biased and unchecked news. 

    Is there a particular issue with the statement?

    Here is the full text:

    Hi, I’m [name] with [station]. Our greatest responsibility is to serve our communities. I am extremely proud of the quality, balanced journalism that [station] produces, but I’m concerned about the troubling trend of irresponsible, one-sided news stories plaguing our country.

    The sharing of biased and false news has become all too common on social media. More alarming, some media outlets publish these same fake stories without checking facts first. Unfortunately, some members of the media use their platforms to push their own personal bias and agenda to control exactly what people think. This is extremely dangerous to our democracy.

    At [station], it is our responsibility to report and pursue the truth. We understand the truth is neither politically left nor right. Our commitment to factual reporting is the foundation of our credibility now more than ever. But we are human, and sometimes our reporting might fall short. If you believe our coverage is unfair, please reach out through our [station] website by clicking on “Content Concerns.” We value your comments and we will respond back to you.

    We work very hard to seek the truth and strive to be fair, balanced, and factual. We consider it our honor and privilege to responsibly deliver the news every day. Thank you for watching, and we appreciate your feedback.
