I do have a problem with Sinclair, but it has nothing to do with conservative bias - it has to do with the consolidation of media ownership. Which is independent of political affiliation.

As to the charge of "liberal bias" which seems to be at the heart of your complaint, I will counter that for every Sinclair there are two Soros in the media, for every Fox, there are three NBC/CBS/ABC's, etc.
Which is exactly my point: you're a hypocrite. First of all, Soros is not media - he's a rich person. There are rich people on all sides of the political spectrum, look at the numbers and you'll find conservatives get more money than liberals - so Soros is a moot point. You'd like to be able to complain about him because he supports your opposition - but you actually have no basis for complaint, which brings us to: Second of all, it's all well and good for you to claim that NBC/CBS/ABC are the inverse of Fox, but as I stated, that's nothing more than the conservative intention to shift the center.

The question you have posed, you have failed to answer yourself: do you oppose Sinclair's power play of conservative bias? If not, you have no business even asking the question (or the reverse) of anyone else.
