Our local NBC and FOX stations have the same anchors. They just flip flop back and forth.
This is extremely dangerous to our democracy.
This will make your parents and grandparents harder to reason with. They watch local news a lot, and Sinclair will have even greater reach into their brains. This widens the gulf between generations.
More wealth concentration means more power concentration.
When are we going to prove whether or not consolidation of industries are good for consumers? Do we have enough data on this question since Milton Freedman passed?
In like the 1800s with the railroads. Turns out it’s bad.
And yet, we are going back to that same idea. What caused those companies to break up? Oh yeah, law were made. Why did were the laws made? Because a lot of union work stoppages and protests were happening across the country.
Union Pacific exits the chat
For what’s?
For consumers. It the justification given to allow mergers that feel like monopolies to occur. The companies put up the argument that the combined companies will provide better goods or services to consumers then as competitors and the judges sign off on it.
The juwhat? Is that when we give them their own courts? I thought that was the text formatting thing but I think that’s just on screen and a judge wouldn’t be able to sign off if they don’t have judges yet.
What this mean for us plebs?
Every local station will be conservative owned bullshit.
More specifically, the same conservative owned bullshit. Previously it would have to be different conservative billionaires to stay under the limit for each.
My guess is Sinclair will buy them all…
More of this.
I knew what that was going to be before I clicked the link. I both love and hate that clip in equal parts.
Own nothing be happy fight communism ±happy
Your parents will be even more obnoxiously fascist.
