Sinclair initially tried to distance itself from the claims while also pushing an all-sides-matter defense

Mikovits and her layer, Larry Klayman, were both guests on the latest episode of American This Week, a weekend talk show produced by Sinclair and hosted by conservative commentator and former Fox News host Eric Bolling. Sinclair announced on Saturday that it was delaying the episode in order to rework the segment, and pulled it from its network websites.
Media Matters, which was the first to flag the segment after the episode was posted online before it aired on television, has pointed out that this wasn’t the first time Bolling entertained the idea that the virus was man-made, and that like many Trump allies in the media, he has also previously downplayed the threat of COVID-19.
Several hours of pushback later, the company decided to temporarily close that marketplace and announced that it was delaying the episode and would “spend the coming days bringing together other viewpoints and provide additional context” to improve the segment.
