      you aint wrong but how is this distinction relevant here?

      does not fox la push the same owner narrative as the national cable channel?

        The Fox affiliate in The SF Bay Area (KTVU 2) certainly does not push the same narrative as the cable channel Fox News. I assume that will be true for many other metro areas (like Los Angeles) where a large percentage of the voters are not conservative. If they did this, nobody would watch their local news, and possibly not watch the channel in general, which would make it not profitable to sell ads.

          my understanding is that these local channels still do the owner’s bidding they just do it in a way that local population will accept. there is a reason why murdoch owns different outlets. it is way more effective to segment the plebs and shill to them as subgroup.

          politcal campaigns are known to do the same… where ads change based on the location and will conflict. example last elections ads in MI and PA re israel
