Sinclair senior vice president Scott Livingston responded to the uproar surrounding Deadspin's viral video of anchors throughout the country reading the same anti-news script, accusing journalists of "aggregating often-flawed-reporting-content published by other media outlets, without fact checking it—or calling us to confirm any of it. By contrast, we have hundreds and hundreds of journalists in Sinclair, who go into the field each day, conduct their own original interviews –face-to-face—and create truly original content for our their local audiences.”
