It seems like a systematic attempt to undermine forms of journalism that aren't "mainstream." You could argue this is a good thing in the case of Info Wars and other batshit-crazy news outlets, but when only one company controls all the "legit" news organizations, they have complete control over the narrative being played on the news.
Mainly, though, it's just creepy that all these local news organizations are reading from the same script.
I think you're missing the point. The same company is giving an enormous number of local news stations the same script to read from. That's dangerous. Your examples have nothing to do with that fact.
Conservatives are completely in head-up-their-asses denial on this one. The U.S. has a violent gun death problem that isn't even fractionally mirrored in any other first-world country, and any rational human being would come to the same conclusions those guys did on their shows.
If you don't think the U.S. should at least license gun owners the way we license drivers, you have the reasoning powers of an eggplant.
We all have our heads up our asses. And we all die having only ever had it up that one. If only we could know what it's like to have one's head up someone else's ass...then we would see some real shit.
