This is what is even more scary with Sinclair.
Quote:
Docket Number:
MB Docket 17-179
Pursuant to a merger agreement, Sinclair Broadcast Group, Inc. (Sinclair) and Tribune Media Company (Tribute) have filed applications seeking Commission consent to transfer control of Tribune's full-power broadcast televisions stations, low-power television stations, and TV translator stations to Sinclair. According to the Applicants, Sinclair owns or operates 173 broadcast television stations, consisting of 528 channels, in 81 markets, with affiliations with all major networks, and is the largest local news provider in the country; Tribune owns or operates 42 broadcast television stations in 33 markets, also with affiliations with all major networks. Tribune also owns cable network WGN America, digital multicast network Antenna TV and WGN-Radio. According to the Applicants, Tribune's owns and operates broadcast television stations in the top three markets in the country, seven stations in the top ten markets, and 34 stations in the top 50 markets. The Applicants claim that under the proposed transaction, the combined company would reach 72 percent of U.S. television households and would own and operate the largest number of broadcast television stations of any station group.

That's a whole lot of people that Sinclair can brainwash and could make Fox look like poor cousins.

Uh, no. A story like this is one-sided (like the subject reporter complains, its not news reporting), but he does mention that like most on-air staff, he was likely hired under the terms of an employment contract. No one forced him to sign the contact, he did so voluntarily. The contract likely lists the terms under which the contact can be terminated by either side. I suspect that "mental and physical fatigue" is not listed in the contact as a reason for termination of the contract.
Sounds to me like the squealing of a stuck pig. More info here:
https://www.orlandoweekly.com/Blogs/...y-for-quitting
According to a Bloomberg report, which reviewed two employment contracts, “some Sinclair employees were subjected to a liquidated damages clause for leaving before the term of their agreement was up[.]” That means if an employee quits, they’re required to pay as much as 40 percent of their annual salary back to the company. That’s a sizable amount for individuals who more than likely have everyday bills to pay, like a mortgage, student debt or a car payment.
These types of damages clauses aren’t common in most employment contracts, Bloomberg reports. However, they are relatively common in the broadcast industry, particularly when it comes to on-air talent.
So, the lesson here would be: Don't sign an employment contract (or any contract) without the review your own legal counsel, and don't try to get out of a contract without consulting with counsel as well.

Naturally our village idiot sees nothing wrong with Sinclair’s odious policies. If a balanced news network required anchors to read a balanced script, you can bet he’d be squealing like a stuck pig. Moron.

Hell, he screams like a stuck pig at real news that portrays him as he is. His idea of news is Three Dolts on a Divan (Fox & Friends), the National Enquirer, NewsMax and InfoWars, as is true with many of his supporters.
