It's critical to be aware that what's shown in this video are not an example of the 4 AM talking points. The message shown in this video specifically went out to Sinclair-owned media stations.
I'm not sure why he did it. Perhaps to make people aware. Perhaps to undermine efforts to make people aware of the talking points by making it a political idea. I don't know.
But this is a bad example to advocate for the existence of the talking points except perhaps at the gut level. I speak from having been burned using it once and not having awareness of the full back-story. Bringing a politically charged figure (Sinclair) into a discussion with a politically charged person (Democrat) is just a setup for failure.
What differentiate it is this was a single specific instance that Sinclair did. It doesn't cross outside Sinclair and the journalists all admit to reading the memo.
It wasn't the FBI or reporters colluding or anything like that. Compare it with JournoList or more subtle ops.
I'm not saying don't share it. Just beware of the context and full facts of what it is, and the fact that it's not evidence of broadly coordinated narrative collusion.

These are all "local news organizations" from "different corporations" using the exact same script. I think it's a fine example
