Sinclair Stations Helps Trump Campaign Sell Hats

If you didn’t think that Sinclair was completely in the tank for Donald Trump, you might want to wake up!

The Daily Beast writes that at least twenty Sinclair-owned network news broadcasters posted items on their website starting on Thursday hyping a new “Keep America Great” hat for sale on the Trump campaign’s website.

All of the stories appear to have initially linked directly to the campaign’s online store, though that link has since been removed on some of the stories.

“Donald Trump's re-election campaign has rolled out new hats as the President aims for another four-year term in 2020,” read one version of the story, which ran on the website of the Sinclair-owned D.C.-area station WJLA. “Trump's online campaign store has started selling red baseball hats with the slogan 'Keep America Great' in white letters,” it added, with a link to the official Trump campaign store.

Sinclair did not respond to a request for comment. Identical or nearly identical versions of the story ran across numerous Sinclair-owned websites.
