Only way it will work is on a reverse metering system.

Sinclair said the motivation behind Stirr is in part to help viewers “access the local news and lifestyle programming that is relevant to their everyday life.”

Watching local news is like being strung up over a fire ant colony.

Free? Like Facebooks, if it’s free you’re the product. This service will hoover up more personal data and use it for selling gold futures, survival kits and targeting the gullible for votes.

It’s free, since charging for a Sinclair streaming service would be akin to charging for a dose of the clap.

Well, I guess this is where Infowars will show up next.

They have local news and lifestyle programming that’s relevant to being an asshole?

Not a blinkin’ word from AP about their right-wing propaganda and lies of omission they demand from all their affiliates - the reading of that screed from their anchors wasn’t even close to how embedded they would like to become.

This is the Sinclair version of “Israel Hayom” the free newspaper in Israel funded by Sheldon Adelson to parrot his hard-right views and lavish support upon Bibi Netenyahu. It is now the #1 publication in Israel.

This is a “stealth” way to influence the young, who are MUCH more likely to use streaming to get their into than newspapers or Broadcast TV.

These kinds of “Free News” apps and streams are popping up all over the place, designed as conduits for right-wing propaganda to the clueless young.

With Facebook under scrutiny, they need a new conduit and this is it.

I get the feeling this service is going to be buggy as hell

Sinclair Launches a Free Steaming Pile.

Oh great, now no one can show up and turn on Trump’s Alt-State of the Union Address.

Anything free is worth what you paid for it. In this instance, it isn’t even worth that much.
