The script was published by a Sinclair station in Seattle, KOMO.
"Hi, I'm(A) ____________, and I'm (B)
_________________...
(B) Our greatest responsibility is to serve our Northwest communities.
We are extremely proud of the quality, balanced journalism that KOMO News
produces.
(A) But we're concerned about the troubling trend of irresponsible, one
sided news stories plaguing our country. The sharing of biased and false news
has become all too common on social media.
(B) More alarming, some media outlets publish these same fake stories...
stories that just aren't true, without checking facts first.
(A) Unfortunately, some members of the media use their platforms to
push their own personal bias and agenda to control 'exactly what people
think'...This is extremely dangerous to a democracy.
(B) At KOMO it's our responsibility to pursue and report the truth. We
understand Truth is neither politically 'left nor right.' Our commitment to
factual reporting is the foundation of our credibility, now more than ever.
(A) But we are human and sometimes our reporting might fall short. If
you believe our coverage is unfair please reach out to us by going to
KOMOnews.com and clicking on CONTENT CONCERNS. We value your comments. We will respond back
to you.
(B) We work very hard to seek the truth and strive to be fair, balanced
and factual... We consider it our honor, our privilege to responsibly deliver
the news every day.
(A) Thank you for watching and we appreciate your feedback"

Also in today's news a very thoughtful analysis of the Supreme Court by Joel Richard Paul (arguing the court will ultimately decide on Russian interference etc... and then the question will be does the president ignore the court).
The analysis compares Roberts to Marshall, focusing on Marshall to use his tenure as a standard against which we can measure Roberts.
Before Marshall each justice on the court issued their own opinion. This small change had a huge positive impact on the court and on our balance of powers.
"Marshall oversaw more than 1,100 cases over 34 years and wrote more than half of the opinions for these cases. In all but 36, the decision was unanimous."
Astounding.
When Marshall was on the court the justices shared one boarding house and ate their meals together.
Most importantly, Marshall successfully stood up to two populist presidents (Jefferson and Jackson). Will Roberts do the same?
