Shakran, I think you are parsing some of your comments too thinly. But I've done it in the past and I don't want to get caught up in splitting hairs.
I would rather like to know whether you are aware of the ownership relationship between Sinclair and this unnamed network:
Does he have controlling interest in some way?
How has the consolidation of media corporations relate to this?
If Sinclair has some kind of economic or controlling interest in the network,
or if the network is really more dependent on the stations to air their product, rather than the inverse as you phrased it,
how does that alter, if it does, your analyses?
I am unaware of the answers to these questions. But I have heard enough officials expressing concern about the consolidation of the media and its impact on this situation to consider a different reading of the facts.
