On Saturday night, in the heart of the Las Vegas Strip, Covid conspiracist filmmaker Mikki Willis debuted the fourth film in his Plandemic series to an audience of about 150 fans and fellow travelers. Then, before he and his cast and crew could get into a planned Q&a session, the audience was told it had about five minutes to clear out of the ballroom venue.
“I did not know that,” Willis said after confirming with event workers the screening space had to be empty by 8 p.m.

The Sinclair Broadcast Group will hold a town hall with President Donald Trump next Wednesday, one day before the final presidential debate.
The event will be taped at the White House and moderated by Eric Bolling, the former Fox News host who left the network amid sexual harassment allegations in 2017. Bolling is now host of “America This Week,” Sinclair’s weekly show that airs on Wednesday nights.
“We aim to give Sinclair viewers the answers to their most burning questions and look forward to getting a detailed view on what the next four years would look like under President Trump,” Bolling said in a statement.
In July, “America This Week” came under fire for scheduling an interview with Judy Mikovits, a researcher who had appeared to accuse Dr. Anthony Fauci of helping to create the coronavirus. Under pressure, Sinclair dropped plans to air the interview.

Sinclair Broadcast Group has dropped plans to air a segment that included a doctor who has advanced the conspiracy theory that Dr. Anthony Fauci was responsible for the creation of the coronavirus.
The segment was to be featured on Eric Bolling’s America This Week. It featured an interview with Judy Mikovits, a medical researcher who was featured in a conspiracy video called The Plandemic.
“Upon further review, we have decided not to air the interview with Dr. Mikovits,” Sinclair said on Monday. “Although the segment did include an expert to dispute Dr. Mikovits, given the nature of the theories she presented we believe it is not appropriate to air the interview.”
“We also reiterate our appreciation for all that Dr. Fauci and his team have accomplished for the health and wellbeing of Americans and people worldwide. During this pandemic, Sinclair and its affiliates have positively and prominently featured Dr.

Sinclair Broadcast Group will not air a report prepared for Eric Bolling’s weekly TV show that falsely blames Anthony Fauci, the nation’s top infectious diseases expert, for creating the Covid-19 pandemic.
In a series of tweets on Monday, the broadcast company — which owns, operates or provides service to 191 local TV stations across the country — said it would not be “appropriate” to air a segment prepared for the conservative commentator’s show, “America This Week,” featuring an interview with Judy Mikovits, a discredited researcher who espoused false claims about the pandemic in the viral “Plandemic” conspiracy theory video.

Sinclair Broadcasting said today it will delay its planned broadcast of a news segment that included an interview with a conspiracy theorist who made several wild claims on the pandemic.
America This Week host Eric Bolling was planning to air an interview with Judy Mikovits, a medical researcher who was featured in a conspiracy video called The Plandemic.
The video, which emerged in May, advocated against masks and made claims against any proposed vaccine. It also claimed Dr. Anthony Fauci, the White House infectious disease expert, created the coronavirus, Media Matters reported. The video has been banned from many social media platforms because of its claims.
Mikovits was featured in the video, and when Bolling interviewed her, he made no mention of the controversy, instead touting her as “an expert in virology” who previously “worked with Dr. Anthony Fauci.”
However, an outcry on social media about the Bolling interview has...

The Sinclair Broadcast Group — the largest owner of local television stations in the country — has scrapped an episode of America This Week that featured the controversial virologist whose Plandemic video was taken down by Facebook, YouTube and other major platforms.
In the nixed episode of America This Week, which is hosted by Eric Bolling, Dr. Judy Mikovits shared her theory that immunologist Dr. Anthony Fauci — a member of the White House’s coronavirus task force — has for years manufactured coronaviruses and shipped them to Wuhan, China. Though Mikovits, when pressed, stopped short of asserting that Fauci created the coronavirus the caused the current pandemic,...

Sinclair Broadcasting, one of the nation’s largest operators of local TV stations, said on Saturday it would delay its planned presentation of a news report featuring commentators offering discredited conspiracy theories about the nation’s coronavirus pandemic, after the piece drew scrutiny and pushback.
“We will spend the coming days bringing together other viewpoints and provide additional context,” the Hunt Valley, Maryland, company said in a statement Saturday afternoon. “All stations have been notified not to air this and will instead be re-airing last week’s episode in its place.”
The move suggests the company reversed its planned course. Sinclair earlier in the day indicated the piece would air. “We’re a supporter of free speech and a marketplace of ideas and viewpoints, even if incredibly controversial,” the broadcaster said in a statement earlier in the day. Sinclair owns, operates or provides services to 191 TV stations in 89 U.S.

To the tune of “Pew Pew Pew” by Auntie Hammy, a woman in scrubs dances as the words flash on screen: “People that were never tested are added to coronavirus death toll,” and “the virus is nowhere near as deadly as experts predicted.” Another TikTok features her in a leopard-print bikini, with the caption “Google the number us6506148b2,” a reference to a so-called “mind control” patent often referred to by conspiracy theorists, that has most recently been coopted by the anti-vaccine movement to preemptively attack a Covid-19 vaccine.

It is perhaps a testament to these anxious, extremely paranoid times that one of the most famous scientists in the country right now is not actually a credible scientist at all. Dr. Judy Mikovits is at the center of the documentary Plandemic, a melange of pseudoscience and baseless conspiracy theories related to the Covid-19 pandemic. Despite featuring the widely debunked claims that the Covid-19 death toll has been inflated and that masks spread the novel coronavirus, the 26-minute Plandemic went massively viral on social media, thanks in no small part...
