The film has been pulled from YouTube, censored in internet searches, and denounced by almost every single mainstream media outlet.<\/p>\n<p>Mikovits, however, will appear on hundreds of local news outlets owned by the Sinclair Broadcast Group this weekend, during a segment of \u2018America This Week\u2019, hosted by Eric Bolling.<\/p>\n<p>Her appearance alone rubbed CNN the wrong way. In an\u00a0article\u00a0slamming Sinclair for airing such a\u00a0\u201cbaseless conspiracy theory,\u201d\u00a0CNN hammered Bolling for allowing Mikovits to\u00a0\u201ccontinue to make her case\u201d\u00a0without pushing back enough. CNN even texted both Bolling and Mikovits\u2019 fellow guest Larry Klayman, a lawyer who backed up her claims, to ask them about the segment.<\/p>\n<p>Taking a page from the Media Matters playbook, CNN asked Bolling if he had any\u00a0\u201csecond thoughts\u201d\u00a0about airing the segment. Bolling simply replied\u00a0\u201cI don\u2019t second guess my producers and bookers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Online, CNN\u2019s liberal viewership clamored for a boycott of Sinclair. Some even demanded that anyone spreading such\u00a0\u201cdangerously false propaganda\u201d\u00a0be\u00a0imprisoned.<\/p>\n<p>CNN\u2019s gripe with Bolling seemed to stem from the fact that he didn\u2019t appropriately ridicule Mikovits. Bolling did call her claim\u00a0\u201chefty,\u201d\u00a0and afterwards interviewed Dr Nicole Saphier, a medical contributor for Fox News. Both Bolling and Saphier agreed on air that it was\u00a0\u201chighly unlikely\u201d\u00a0that Dr Fauci created the coronavirus, calling the allegation a\u00a0\u201cconspiracy theory.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Whatever its standing in the information war, CNN is losing the ratings war against Sinclair and its affiliates. Local broadcasters like the 294 owned or operated by Sinclair and its subsidiaries draw in\u00a0five times\u00a0as many primetime viewers as cable networks like CNN. Among these local broadcasters, Sinclair is king, reaching 40 percent of American households.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rt.com\/usa\/495859-sinclair-plandemic-conspiracy-cnn\/?fbclid=IwAR1JnJpJzjMr9o7SDIo15xPlN12yK1lUmFnfn7BijPGMsoUq_FPrG9EoPS8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">https:\/\/www.rt.com\/usa\/495859-sinclair-plandemic-conspiracy-cnn\/?fbclid=IwAR1JnJpJzjMr9o7SDIo15xPlN12yK1lUmFnfn7BijPGMsoUq_FPrG9EoPS8<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RAEL\u2019S COMMENT: Who owns CNN?
