Rusty Muck 4139 Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 I meant to say... Try tossing around the word "Collusion" in a real legal setting and a judge would laugh his ass off. "Counselor....you have been watching way too much fake news...get the hell out of my courtroom and turn in your state bar card." "I move for a bad court thingy." "You mean a mistrial?" "Yeah!"

Eat News 4738 Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 [quote name='TSSZNews'] I suppose technically you're right in the sense that the word "collusion" is not coded into law outright, but any antitrust attorney worth his billing rate can put two and two together on this.[/QUOTE] @TSSZNews I don't mean to be a dick about this because it's not my intention to call anyone out on this. We have a real smart group of people here, and the misuse of the term [I]Collusion[/I] in the legal discussions was just driving some of us ( really just me) crazy.

cna247 173 Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 No. Collusion is not a crime. You can use that word all you want...but there is no USC section about Collusion. Nothing... Nada... Cite a section... cite a charge? Ask any attorney...there is NO crime called collusion. Criminal Conspiracy is a real charge. But nobody has even been accused or charged with that. Or just ask anyone at CNN....Or MSNBC to cite a USC section. They can't, "Collusion" is just a sinister word with NO legal meaning. I meant to say... Try tossing around the word "Collusion" in a real legal setting and a judge would laugh his ass off. "Counselor....you have been watching way too much fake news...get the hell out of my courtroom and turn in your state bar card."

dman748 1250 Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 It'll depend upon what happens with this ad collusion investigation that'll determine what happens with Tribune, it could either be someone like a Hearst to Warren Buffett to Soo Kim who could buy Tribune or it'll have no choice but to go piecemeal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidwestTV 1173 Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Why did Scott Jones put a paywall on his site anyway? Losing money? Not to get off topic, but just to answer your question. I don't think he was "losing" money so much as he wasn't making any money. Lots of people do Patreons now so fans of their work can support them and they can keep dedicating the time to whatever project it is they're doing.

NEOMatrix 1295 Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Those stations were renewed back in 2016. (The Fox affiliate stations) Would they be up for renewal so soon? IIRC, the ex-O&Os still were under the ten-year deal with Fox dating back to the LocalTV days. Since the Sinclair is likely dead, Tribune decided to re-jigger the contract to be favorable for both Fox and Tribune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ABC 7 Denver 1547 Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 But after 13 weeks when you want to cancel "NewsChannel"...it won't go away... ...and it grows into it's own monster...destroying national resources...consuming valuable electrons...ruining lives and tearing poor defenseless little children from the arms of their screaming mothers.......
