 Media Watchdog Group Blasts Sinclair's 'Abuse of Power'   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
Eleven of Sinclair’s 62 TV stations are not owned by the company, but operated under so-called local marketing agreements (LMAs), which allow Sinclair to circumvent media ownership rules, the watchdog group points out.
"Sinclair abuses its free access to the public airwaves to push its candidates, and then receives payback in the form of favorable media policies made behind closed doors," stated Robert W. McChesney, the founder of Free Press and a media scholar at the University of Illinois.
This year, 97% of Sinclair’s campaign contributions -- which total more than $67,000 -- went to GOP candidates, “as the White House aggressively pushed to lift media ownership caps in order to bolster the bottom lines of Sinclair and other powerful media corporations,” the watchdog group said.

Sinclair, the nation's largest owner of television stations, might have thought it was business as usual to have its stations air a program that, among other things, would question whether John Kerry's antiwar activities during the Vietnam conflict harmed POWs.
