A3N 996 Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 I wonder if they can get Melissa McCarthy to play Sarah Huckabee Sanders? I mean, there's a ton of skits they can do based Sarah's psycho eye movements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Megatron81 179 Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 I was surprise that News Max is against the merger didn't think they would say anything. Fox News graphics are awesome they don't look horrid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColtFromGulfcoast 695 Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Seriously, all of the drama that happens at Sinclair and how they respond to it would be a great idea for a telenovela on Unimas. After a succesful run there, we will adapt it in English for USA or HBO. Letting ya know now in case someone tries to steal this: I came up with it first!

Georgie56 3059 Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 I just remembered -- at least this won't be WPIX and WGN's first time airing commentaries during the late news. Remember Larry Mendte? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyrannical bastard 3442 Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 The Epshteyn editorials look like they they use the same graphics as the now-defunct "American News Network" which was distributed to low-powered and religious stations in the early-2000s. Good old Digital Juice... ...the fallback before the internet started selling $35 graphics packages to small market stations... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember Larry Mendte commentaries on Fox17 for a few years mainly aired during the 6:30PM of the news. I like Larry seems like a very nice person surprise when I read his bio on Wiki that he was the very first host of Access Hollywood which doesn't seem to be what Larry would do. Kinda like Bill O'Reilly being on Inside Edition looking back on it doesn't see, like what he would do. Sorry if this was going little bit off topic.

Samantha 2876 Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Yet more surprising opposition, this time from the conservative side. Christopher Ruddy, CEO of Newsmax Media, stated in an interview that he wants regulators to slow down their review, saying the deal "needs more vetting" and that it "rais[es] so many serious concerns about the concentration of media power". On Friday, AWE – A Wealth of Entertainment, Cinémoi, MAVTV Motorsports Network, One America News Network, and RIDE Television filed a statement also supporting Dish's petition for more time.

atlnews2 557 Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Additionally why do their must runs (save for the Terror Desk) use a crappy backdrop and lower thirds for their commentary? becasue Sinclair is too cheap to get nicer backdrops and graphics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atlnews2 557 Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 $inclair is actually an upgrade from KRCG's previous owners (Barrington) Morris would have been an improvement over Barrington. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TennTV1983 742 Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Morris would have been an improvement over Barrington. Maybe so, but Morris would've done things on an even cheaper level than Sinclair. At least Sinclair cares about how its on-air product looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CircleSeven 1944 Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 So it appears that a second shareholder has filed a lawsuit, a few days after the first one did so. And it appears that a slew of independent content programmers (that includes TheBlaze and One American News Network) have asked GOP leaders from the House and Senate to hold congressional hearings regarding this deal. The programmers fear that Sinclair would have unprecedented leverage in the video programming marketplace. And here's a fresh article about Sinclair from Variety this morning.

William1111 41 Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 I find it funny how we've been saying for years how Sinclair is a dangerous propaganda machine, but the mainstream media didn't see Sinclair as a threat until now. It's only a threat when it's already too big. People said Microsoft was a risk at becoming a large monopoly in it's the early days when they started getting into agreements with sites to exclusively require Internet Explorer. Nobody cared until the Antitrust suit in 2001. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
