Fair enough

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.
Bullshit.

First, Soros can spend all his billions to elect Kerry and I wouldn't give a damn.

What I DO care about, is that Soros campaigned for "finance reform", silencing voices like the NRA, but then used a loop hole to funnel as much as he wanted to make his own voice heard.

So the charge that I'd "like to be able to complain about him because he supports (my) opposition" is utter bullshit.

As to your second "point", that is your opinion, and only your opinion, which you are welcome to, but certainly not "fact".

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.
What the hell is a "power play of conservative bias"?

It seems to me that your last paragraph is smokescreen, as my question was logical and on topic, but apparently not to your liking.
