Sinclair Axes DC Bureau Chief

In what's becoming an intensely divided nation pending this election, Sinclair Broadcasting has been planning on showing a propoganda film with the express intent of affecting the election. Jon Leiberman was the DC bureau chief and he spoke out against the filth he was being told to pre-empt regular shows to air. Well Sinclair replied. Sinclair Axe's DC Bureau Chief. Speak out against the evil empire and lose your job BUT retain your integrity. Good on you, Jon. If I ran a broadcasting network, I would hire you in a second.

Lots and lots more happening now. The Sinclair shareholders have filed a massive lawsuit against the executive board for insider trading and Sinclair has issued a very weasely and stinky press release that tries to backtrack on their plans and then says that their board has been harassed because of the outrage demonstrated by the internet community.

And Sinclair Broadcasting's stock? Can you say Noooooooosedive?

Good night, sweet prince! Sinclair is going to go down for this.
