I overheard on a news network of sorts a couple of days ago that these networks collaborated to have them speak some message I presume this might be it at exactly the same time throughout the country?  The hours are in different time zones, but still by the hour.  Local connected news could connect some message of exactly the same words in sequence if they wanted to.  I think that is what I heard happened to some degree.  Did this video happen like that?  Was it synchronized across time zones on all these networks?

They must really be preparing to ramp up fake news if they feel the need to do such.

Local news isn't really local. A large percentage of "local" stations are all owned by the same company -- The Sinclair Broadcasting Group. When the company requests that a certain message be broadcast, all of the stations have to comply. I don't find it to be any more problematic than CNN or MSNBC. In fact, it bothers me less because Sinclair is more equivalent to Fox News as they lean conservative. News has ceased to be impartial.
