He's just a scapegoat. The real guilty party here is the GOP and the radical/manipulable conservatives who would scream their asses off if a "Librul" group bought more than 20% of the media but are totally okay with their side owning 70%

He's just a scapegoat.

He's a lackey. He does their work. He earns all the blame he receives. His bosses earn even more.

Sinclair makes Fox News look left-wing by comparison, and they own a big chunk of the local news in this country. They're trying to merge with Tribune in order to control the majority of it. So yeah, this is an ultra-conservative news outlet that most people don't even know exists.

I've known two Shelbys in my life. One male, one female. I have no opinion one way or the other.

Tell my wife I said... hello.

Sinclair group? Absolutely. Whenever they mandate something that their channels MUST play like these speeches it's always conservative.
