Seems to be a right wing talking point. But what the hell do I know.

Imagine if that money had gone to one of the senate candidates in a tight race, like Harrison in SC.

Although, I'm no fan of Sirota, BTW.

Who said a "$5-million-a-year newsroom" is worth a damn.

That doesn't sound like nearly enough money to run a professional TV operation. Nevermind the capital cost to get one up and running.

That wouldn't pay for one name brand anchor.

What's really the point of this other than to shit on the Democrats trying to expand the playing field?
