you know... with the what... 1 to 2 Billion USD (with a B) revenue from MJ taxes, I am sure Colorado could afford to build a substantial network itself.
It gets worse as Sinclair is eyeing to buy WGN, arguably the largest non-network affiliated station. Now... the problem here is that they aren't gobbling up independent stations, there are a LOT of Network affiliated stations that they own. Now I am not a fan of Fox News, BUT... Local Fox stations are really better than national Fox (if that makes sense). What I mean is that Fox 59 (Indy) doesn't run say Sean Hannity, but rather focuses on more local news than national news.
With Sinclair, they would be, and have been, telling their stations to do exactly that, in the form of "Must run segments". In other words, they are passing opinion pieces off as "news" not unlike what Fox News (National 24 hours) did with O'Reilly. Only on a more local level.
Also, there is the problem, as not as obvious, with competition. They own, or are buying up a lot of stations primarily in traditionally blue states; 13 in California, 7 in Central Illinois (WGN pending would be 8), 9 in Oregon, 7 in Washington, the rest of their properties are in the 3-4/state span. Exepting Texas (8) and Florida (they have 12 in Florida/Mobile AL).
actually, this should be bringing up a good point that I'd like to see TD expand on. Extra-territorial political actions/speech or endorsements in regards to traditional print media as well as the interconnected world via the internet. What kind of laws are there for/against various media types, Who is allowed to say what, that kind of thing.
... inevitable lawsuits may be able to convince a court that the FCC blatantly ignored the public interest and violated procedural norms while trying to give telecom duopolies a giant, sloppy kiss.
The only clearer picture is if Ajit Pai was on his knees in front of David Watson (CEO of Comcast), with his mouth open (I will let you fill in the blanks). If these guys are married, then at least two (most likely more, if not all of them), are cheating on their wives because the FCC and the Telecom companies are clearly in bed with each other.
It's not a Weird hated for Google that Hollywood has. It's actually rather simple, Hollywood hates Google, because Hollywood is no longer the single gate for information, in other words, Information no longer singularly (largely) passes through Hollywood, so they hate Google for that. (at least in my opinion.)
no.. they misrepresented what they bought, They basically bought a 25mil. USD digital paper shredder. I still think there are laws for proper disposal of official documents though. And those fines should be steep, like in the millions of dollars a day steep.
so.. I have a question for "The Man Himself". When is it an appropriate time to Godwin this discussion (SESTA, ICE, Oakland, etc.) in the historical context of getting rid of "undesirables" from the home country?
I am seriously considering switching TO Comcast (or at least another cable provider). Reason is, While AT&T is stable... it's also pretty slow. not even up to broadband specs (worldwide specs). and for the same price, I could get 10x the speed with Comcast.
