Sinclair Broadcasting aired a follow-up to the debunked "Plandemic" conspiracy theory

Sinclair Broadcasting, the massively influential right-wing media conglomerate that cleverly buys up TV stations in local markets in order to push conservative propaganda, plans to push a national news segment featuring a video with Judy Mikovits, the woman behind the quickly-popularized but swiftly-debunkedPlandemic YouTube conspiracy theory. Media Matters was first to report:

Baseless conspiracy theories about the novel coronavirus and Dr. Anthony Fauci, a prominent member of the White House coronavirus task force, found a platform on the new episode of Sinclair Broadcast GroupsAmerica This Week. The episode isavailable for streaming on Sinclair-owned or -operated television station websitesand is set to air on dozens of Sinclair stations over the weekend.

Toward the end of his show, host Eric Bolling interviewed Judy Mikovits of the conspiracy theory videoPlandemicand her attorney Larry Klaymanabout their plans to sue Fauci.He introduced the prerecordedinterviewby referring to her as an expert in virology who previously worked with Dr. Anthony Fauci.

Bolling immediately followed this interview with an interview of Fox News medical contributor Dr. Nicole Saphier to respond to these claims -- despiteher own recordofmisleadingaudiences about the coronavirus. Saphier labeled those who believe Fauci created the coronavirus as conspiracy theorists, saying its highly unlikely and that she thought Dr. Fauci in no way, shape, or form has been involved in the manufacturing of this virus. But in the same breath, she also suggested its likely that the virus was man-made within a laboratory.
