So: extortion.

That’s what we are talking about here, right?

Not that it would happen, but I would so love for everyone to be remembering all these people for later prosecution under different leadership when Taco’s gone.

These assholes should go to fucking prison for this.

Yup, extortion from a private citizen and 1st amendment violations from the FCC.

Not to mention both Sinclair and Nexstar are publicly traded companies. Surely getting involved in politics to the point where you are denying your viewership popular programing would eventually negatively affect shareholder value?

I think if I had shares in either of these companies I’d be questioning the leadership of the organization.

These are MAGA companies that have been slowly pushing more and more propaganda on to the public airwaves. They firmly believe that their viewer base won’t be losing that many viewers and are counting on MAGA’s, rightly so probably, to cover for the loss.
