I think that Nextstar & Sinclair need to feel the economic pain for all of their stations, ABC or not.

They need to feel the economic impact of their fuckery and make no mistake, their fuckery goes back years.

Fuck them.

And yes, under the next Dem, there needs to be serious roll back on ownership, what's the point of a FCC and local say when two companies own a massive amount of the stations?

The ownership of news and opinion sources should not be able to influence multiple markets.
Check me on this. It seems that Reagan reversed the Fairness Doctrine which gave way to folks like Rush Lim . .
There has been consolidation of ownership of news sources (broadcast and print). In the of interest making money and efficiency.
Let’s go back in history when the railroads influenced business development, 1900-1910. I think it’s Teddy R’s time.
