I would like to chime in on the letter ’Shame on KUTV’ by Trent Harris (Public Forum, March 13). In his letter, he states that Sinclair Broadcasting Co. instructed its news anchors to spread misinformation. He went on to say that Sinclair told Mark Koelbel, Shauna Lake and others to lie. He failed to name dates and the people who instructed this misinformation. If he can’t do this, I would suggest that this is a lie and fake news.
