Early Friday morning, FTVLive told you that Sinclair Broadcast group was planning on running a show that featured a “Doctor” that claimed that Dr. Anthony Fauci had created the coronavirus and paid to have it shipped to China.

The show is hosted by former disgraced and now Sinclair employee Eric Bolling.

The Bolling show featured COVID-19 conspiracy theorist Judy Mikovits who told Bolling that she believes that Dr. Anthony Fauci created the coronavirus and paid to ship the virus to Wuhan, China as far back as 2014.

After FTVLive posted the story Friday morning, CNN and other websites picked up on the story and did their own pieces about Sinclair once again trying to push their pro-Trump agenda to their audience.

The blowback got loud enough that Sinclair blinked and pulled the show.

Sinclair sent out a tweet saying that they were “delaying” the Bolling show:

Bolling himself releases a statement that one Sinclair employee said is, “complete bullshit” to FTVLive:

Let’s look at the some of the immense respect Bolling has for Dr. Fauci:

By the way, Fauci (sitting an empty stadium with his wife and best friend) said that he dropped his mask to take a sip of water, but Bolling again tries to discredit him.

Also, Bolling made no comment about Trump and his lack of a mask or social distancing while playing golf with Brett Favre over the weekend. And yes, in the middle of a growing pandemic, the President is playing golf with a guy that is alleged to have sent dick pics to a woman.

Oh, wait! There was a guy that used to work at Fox News that was also accused of sending dick pics. Hmmmmmm? I forget who that was?

As for Sinclair, despite saying that they presented both sides of the story, They seem to be taking Bolling’s propaganda show back to editing:

Sinclair has let Bolling blast Fauci and use his Twitter to talk (beg) directly to Trump and make claims trying to downplay the virus.

Sinclair claims that putting Mikovits is just giving her the right to “free speech,” But….

Sinclair says they have no plans to air “Plandemic” because it has been widely discredited, yet they did plan to give airtime to Mikovits, who was in the “Plandemic” video and has also been widely discredited.

I don’t know about you, but it appears Sinclair is talking out of their ass and their “free speech” bucket has a lot of holes in it.

Donald Trump’s poll numbers are dropping like a rock after he completely bumbled the COVID-19 pandemic. Sinclair continues to support Trump and this shows how low they were willing to stoop to do so.

The bottom line, if Sinclair did not get called out by FTVLive and others, this show would have gone on the air. It would have let Mikovits spout her discredited claims and continued to try and confuse viewers.

All in an effort to try and prop up Donald Trump’s tumbling poll numbers.

It is just another example of how low Sinclair is willing to go.
