To the extent that Sinclair Broadcasting compels stations to broadcast biased and even falsified news stories, Sinclair Broadcasting has influence perhaps wider than the four main networks.
Here they are:

The biggest TV market without a Sinclair affiliate is Detroit, Michigan. With a wrecked economy, a n astronomical crime rate, awful pro-sports teams. and horrid schools, Detroit at least has something going for it!
Fortunately, a lot of these stations like MeTV, GetTV, Antenna TV, and I think Comet, do not broadcast any news or editorials. They don't own all of them either, since these stations I get in San Francisco, Oakland and San Jose are not listed. These are mostly broadcast stations on the extra channels. These stations broadcast old programs from decades ago. MeTV broadcasts a lot of old shows that may appeal more to conservatives, like Andy Griffith, or lots of westerns, but also M*A*S*H. I don't know about the others though, If they are ABC or other network stations, they are likely a problem. There are a bunch in conservative markets like Bakersfield CA and Tulsa OK.
Unlike Fox News, these Sinclair outlets are local TV stations. Locals rely on them for, well, local news, and they get it painted in the bright red colors Sinclair demands.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
