Sinclair Broadcast Group loves Bush and the RNC. List of Donors

[Renew Deal]

This is the group that is censoring nightline tomorrow night. They are the same group that is accusing ABC of playing politics. Well this makes it obvious who is really playing politics. I found these all through Opensecrets.org. Almost all of these people are listed as "Officers and Key Executives."

4. here's one WP link re Sinclair and Md. governor campaign

http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn/A45158-2002Nov27?language=printer


"A federal regulatory agency chastised Rep. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr. last year over his intervention in a licensing dispute involving a broadcasting firm – a company owned by a family that this year provided Ehrlich with the use of a luxury helicopter during his successful campaign for Maryland governor,"

[dflprincess]

5. It was mentioned on West Wing a week or so ago

that the regulations about how many TV/radio stations or newspapers any outfit could own were enacted in the 1940's as a response to the Facist ownership of media that was seen in Europe. The idea was to preserve the free flow information.

Sinclair proves the wisdom of that.
