If you are not aware of Sinclair Broadcast Group, Google "Sinclair Fines". Sinclair is a corporate media gangster similar to News Corp the far-right Russian controlled lie machine behind Fox News. Unlike Fox News Sinclair has been illegally buying affiliates of legit networks such as ABC, CBS and NBC.

Dumb as Shit
It should suffice to say that in most cases local news is a joke. WLOS is more than a joke. It's bullshit news stories are at best fluff and more often free commecials for local sponsors as well as bullshit stories sent to them by commecial propagandists and parroted by some airhead online personality (usually a blonde bimbo) as actual news in order to push some particular narrative. That's WLOS and stations like it.
What's a Lie?
A lie is a statement that you know is false but you make it anyway. That is exactly what WLOS and other local stations do. Usually lies disguised as news are subtle and contain enough hedge words to sorta pass the smell test. These lies a different. These lies come in the form of Republican campaign advertising so they are blantant and in the post truth era Republican lies have become the norm.
One lies in question is a lie by Putin loyalist Traitorous Thom Tillis the US Republican Senator from North Carolina where Tillis falsely accused Democat Cal Cunningham of taking money from the Paycheck Protection Program. In spite of other stations pulling the ad, the filth at WLOS continue to run it. "Last week, at least three TV stations refused to air a NRSC commercial that falsely accused Democrat Cal Cunningham of personally benefiting from the federal coronavirus relief effort known as the Paycheck Protection Program."
The other ad is a Trump ad claiming Biden wants to defund the police. WLOS knows it is a complete lie but is broadcasting it anyway even though other stations have refused to air the lie filled ad. WLOS and its Sinclair pimp daddy are hiding behind the legalistic BS that running a lie filled political ad is not unlawful. In the minds of the amoral corporate types legality = morality.
What Should Happen to Liars?
I have my thoughts but for now let's see what the ancients would have done.
Under Islamic law liars get their tongues cut out or stoned to death. Sounds a bit harsh? I guess that would depend on the severity of the lie. Lies that lead to the death of innocent people are as bad as it gets. We all know that the lies of Trump and other Putin pawns regarding COVID-19 being the "latest democrat hoax" has led to the deaths of 10's of thousands of innocent and not so innocent people. For now we are taking good with the bad. Me? I would say that liars are clear and present danger to life and liberty and that liars with the power of the electronic media and cyber media need to be brought to justice. With the rule of law breaking down at every level of society and the 1% aka the criminal elite, completely above the law the future for moral humans is bleak.
In the past and not so distant past tyrants got their just punishment. Christ took a whip to the money changers, Robinhood stole from the greedy and gave to the poor but that is fiction. In the real world the opressors of humanity met with terrible fates. Through terror Robespierre dragged the oppesssors and traitors to the guillotine. William Tecumseh Sherman punished the savage South for it's holocaust. Then there was Neuremberg. Not much has happened since. Democracy won't becoming to Russia, China or the US if the 1% is allowed to remain in power and remain unpunished for their wickedness. People at the top don't become amoral, that's just what they are.
Punishing the Wicked
IMO what needs to happen is, WLOS and other media lie spreaders should be made examples of what happens to money grubbing broadcasters who betray the public trust. Punishment is the only tool civilization have to deal with the dangerous and the villianous. Many believe that not protecting good people from bad people is barbarity. This applies to the Machiavellian, contriving and unscrupulous like the thugs that run gangs like WLOS and SINclair Broadcast Group.
A Lawful Star Chamber
When justice continues to fail to protect the people, groups are formed to insure the fair enforcement of law and punishment. When it comes to corporate crime justice is absent and the inadequate laws designed to protect the peasants from the corporate gangs are rarely enforced and if sentencess are handed down, they are farciful just like the clowns in the black robes who hand them down. Some would say do it yourself justice is as valid and righteous justice meted out by the courts.
Email lists of businesses that advertise with WLOS and other unscroupulous broadcasters in Western NC have been obtained. Emails will be sent to these advertisers offering them more cost effective way to reach customers. When you have a rat problem the first step is to try to starve them before trapping and poisoning them is employed. I think it is still possible to work within the law to end this fascism and post tuth era. Time will tell.

What Should Happen to Liars?
I have my thoughts but for now let's see what the ancients would have done.
Jewish law enumerates 613 Mitzvot or commandments, including several commandments related to honest testimony as related to judicial procedure.
Proverbs 19:9 – A false witness shall be punished, and a liar shall be caught. Proverbs 21:6 & 8 – A fortune made by people who tell lies amounts to nothing and leads to death. … But the conduct of those who are not guilty is honest.
In a list of things that the Lord hates we find lying. "These six things the LORD hates, yes, seven are an abomination to Him: A proud look, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that are swift in running to evil, a false witness who speaks lies, and one who sows discord among brethren" (Proverbs 6:16-19). Lies make the list twice, so it is not something easily ignored. The reason for God's hatred of lying is simple, God is the God of Truth. "He is the Rock, His work is perfect; for all His ways are justice, a God of truth and without injustice; righteous and upright is He" (Deuteronomy 32:4). God cannot lie (Titus 1:2). Hence, God abhors lying. "You shall destroy those who speak falsehood; the LORD abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful man" (Psalm 5:6).
The Psalmist warned, "He who works deceit shall not dwell within my house; he who tells lies shall not continue in my presence" (Psalm 101:7). Hence, if Christians desire to be found faithful, they cannot engage in lying. "Do not lie to one another, since you have put off the old man with his deeds" (Colossians 3:9). "Therefore, putting away lying, "Let each one of you speak truth with his neighbor," for we are members of one another" (Ephesians 4:25).
Under the Law of Moses, a person who lied in court would receive the punishment the person on trial would have received if the lie was believed. "If a false witness rises against any man to testify against him of wrongdoing, then both men in the controversy shall stand before the LORD, before the priests and the judges who serve in those days. And the judges shall make careful inquiry, and indeed, if the witness is a false witness, who has testified falsely against his brother, then you shall do to him as he thought to have done to his brother; so you shall put away the evil from among you" (Deuteronomy 19:16-19). Thus to falsely accuse a person of murder could bring the death penalty upon the liar's head.
Lying is a serious matter. It is not to be ignored. "A false witness will not go unpunished, and he who speaks lies will not escape" (Proverbs 19:5). "A false witness will not go unpunished, And he who speaks lies shall perish" (Proverbs 19:9).
Ultimately, liars will be judged and sentence to eternity in Hell. "But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death" (Revelation 21:8).
In the past and not so distant past tyrants got their just punishment. Christ took a whip to the money changers, Robinhood stole from the greedy and gave to the poor but that is fiction. In the real world the opressors of humanity met with terrible fates. Through terror Robespierre dragged the oppesssors and traitors to the guillotine.

“Peoples do not judge in the same way as courts of law; they do not hand down sentences, they throw thunderbolts; they do not condemn kings, they drop them back into the void; and this justice is worth just as much as that of the courts.” -Robespiere-
