Jay Rosen has a kick ass summary and analisis of the Sinclair Broadcasting scandal
by Liza Sabater
Sinclair is always innocent. Sinclair is always pure. Sinclair wanted to make a 60 Minutes style hit piece using taped interviews with Kerry. Running Stolen Honor was the threat. But word leaked out, and Stolen Honor became the pivot point of a huge controversy that is revealing to us what Sinclair, under Smith and Hyman, really is: Agnew with Television Stations, a political empire with a commercial base in broadcasting, capable of making alliances and negotiating with princes. Shareholders have been enlisted in an ideological project that is not incidental to Sinclair's business, but at the core of what the broadcasting group has been created for.
