I want to say one thing about the stupidity of these SSW movements and of more importance, the stupidity and hardheadedness of what these liberals in Hollywood and somewhat in Wall Street have done to their businesses.
If no one knows what Sinclair Broadcasting Is, i feel really, fucking sorry for all of you. Because in the middle of the country - with both coastal intelligentsia and pundit class dont care too much since the end of the original On the Road segments with Charles Kurult aired, Sinclair started to grow, bit by bit and became the 3rd largest station group in the US.
Tribune was sort of a syndication repository - not a network but having a large enough history in the cities that were in (WGN being the most important one). This is where Hollywood made their BIG BUCKS, in syndication. Tribune still is the place where all those Sag/Aftra checks still getting paid out. This is how before Cable grew (because of the Monday Night Wars) Actors and Actresses got rich.
Tribune, despite all of its hangups and bankruptcy was the Goose That Laid These Massive Golden Eggs for the liberals to have all these parties, and what we now see as sex pesting.
For nobody in Silicon Valley, Nobody in these major league venture capitalist firms that lean liberal, not even fucking Amazon to even look at Tribune to make sure that thing like Tribune would not go into the hands something even more conservative than Fox News, is tantamount to the reasons why the Democratic Party is literally in civil war and if they lose anymore seats during the midterm elections, they will be dead come January 2019.
Sinclair is about to become the largest station group in the history of US TV. They are about to own WGN Superstation, and has plans to turn it into a more right wing version of Fox News and they have already BUILT out the studios to do it in Washington and Baltimore.
The FCC has already give station groups the go ahead to outsource local news operations to central locations. This was to help Sinclair cut down on overhead with their local news operations everywhere else.
And now, with the recent announcement that Tribune will not look for a new CEO after next year, Sinclair is so confident they will get Tribune.
With that now a fait-acompli and with Hollywood burning with there own scandals, Sinclair will look clean in the eyes of the ad agencies and they will run roughshod over the retransmission fees of the majority of their stations.
That also leads into the issue concerning what Fox Local stations are going to do - half of the stations are run by Sinclair and both of them are catty as fuck. You think purity tests are bad on the left you should see Conservatives, example the Katrina Coverage back in 2005 and the election in 2016 when Orelley was drunk half the damn time because Trump was on a roll.
Fox and ION Stations are planning to join forces once the Sinclair deal goes through. Which means they will grow in to the number two slot - and a lot of stations that have NFL rights via Fox, would be stunned when they are moved to some station they never even heard before!
All of this would have been stopped in the bud, if these "male feminists" most of them in Silicon Valley and Hollywood would stop putting Pussy As God/Pussy On A Pedestal, and realized there Golden Syndication Goose was about to be taken by those who see this country with a more populist, theocratic lens.
