U.S. right-center
KOMO News (KOMO-TV, channel 4) is a Seattle ABC affiliate owned by Sinclair Broadcast Group, one of the largest and most politically conservative-leaning local TV broadcasters in the United States. Sinclair has a documented history of mandating pro-Republican, pro-Trump content at its stations, including KOMO. Local reporting tends toward the center-right, while corporate-produced segments pushed through KOMO by Sinclair have consistently favored the Trump administration.
