	OSCN Found Document:Hernandez v. United Supermarkets of Oklahoma, Inc.
		Believing Defendant Supermarket to be responsible for creating the hazard that caused her fall, Plaintiff then brought this action for negligence against Defendant Supermarket on June 10, 1992, and then filed an amended petition to include the building landlords/owners on July 31, 1992.
		After a hearing was held on the motions for summary judgment, Defendant Supermarket mailed to Plaintiff an offer to allow judgment to be taken against it for $7,500, inclusive of all interest, costs, and attorney fees, pursuant to 12 O.S. The offer of judgment was received by Plaintiff on June 14, 1993.
		Therefore, it is immaterial in the case at bar that Defendant Supermarket may have attempted to withdraw its offer prior to Plaintiff's acceptance, since a defendant may not revoke its offer at any time within the statutory period granted for a plaintiff's response.

	REPORT FROM THE BUREAU OF COMPETITION
		Kroger's acquisition of 18 Raley's supermarkets in the Las Vegas, Nevada area last year also illustrates how the Commission takes into account the facts specific to each transaction.
		In the recent acquisition of Amigo, the largest supermarket chain in Puerto Rico, by Wal-Mart, the largest general merchandiser in the world, the Commission required divestiture of four Amigo stores where direct competition would be eliminated between Wal-Mart club stores or a supercenter and Amigo supermarkets.

	Sinclair Broadcast Group - dKosopedia
		It was reported that some businesses that pulled or threatened to pull advertising from Sinclair outlets were subjected to intense pressure from Sinclair ranging from the threat of legal action to an orchestrated intimidation campaign to force them to recant.
		As an example, Hannaford's supermarkets reversed their pullout decision as a result of these efforts.
		In light of such opinions and the fact that the Smith brothers control over 95% of the company, Sinclair seems to be less of a public corporation than a propaganda vehicle that they are willing to run into the ground, at the expense of creditors and outside shareholders, in support of right-wing causes.
