Dem Baltimore Prosecutor Calls for Investigation into Sinclair Broadcasting Station for Coverage
A failed prosecutor in Baltimore has launched an all-out assault on a news station after it has repeatedly covered her many failures to lead and control crime.
When Donald Trump was president, left-wing politicians always tried to say he was attacking the freedom of the press. But now a far-left failed prosecutor is launching an actual attack on the freedom of the press, by trying to silence a right-leaning station for running stories critical of her.
Marilyn Mosby has asked the Federal Communications Commission to investigate Baltimore’s WBFF, owned by right-leaning Sinclair Group, after it said it has been too mean to her in covering her role as State’s Attorney in Baltimore City. Seriously.
Mosby is currently facing investigations, along with her husband, for a number of improprieties and possible criminal activity.
Of course, being a leftist, Mosby and her team accused WBFF of pushing ““blatantly slanted, dishonest, misleading, racist, and extremely dangerous” narratives.
“It further charges that the station has engaged in what ‘appears to be an intentional crusade’ against Baltimore State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby,” the Baltimore Sun reported, “which given today’s politically charged and divisive environment, is extremely dangerous.”
“This is a chilling & direct attack on free speech & journalist freedom,” FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr wrote on Twitter. “It’s part of a surge in calls by Dems for the FCC to silence speech.”
Mosby and other Baltimore Democratic leaders have completely failed to control crime. As top prosecutor, Mosby has a number of tools to use to stop crime, including advocating for tough on crime policies.
However, many local leaders support Black Lives Matter and liberal policies.
Furthermore, her husband is the city’s council president. Both Marilyn and her husband Nick are facing federal investigation into their finances.
“The city needs to do a better job of focusing on crime,” Governor Larry Hogan said recently. “It seems to be the last thing that they’re focusing on right now, and they need to come up with a real plan,” a local CBS affiliate reported.
“I think almost everyone believes that violent crime in Baltimore City is a terrible problem, and that people need to step up and get to work,” the moderate Republican governor said recently.
“There’s been an increase in murders in Baltimore,” the CBS affiliate reported. “There were 96 homicides at this time in 2020, compared to 108 so far this year, according to statistics from Baltimore police.”
Do you think Democrats only want the press to cover Republicans negatively? Should the Mosbys apologize to the city for not doing more to control crime? Share your thoughts below!
