    1. They pick a fight that backfires and then act surprised when it hits their bottom line. Pulling Kimmel was such an unnecessary move, and now they’re bleeding money. Actions meet consequences, I guess

    2. > Sinclair Broadcasting’s lobbying helped install Trump sycophant Brendan Carr at the FCC. As we’ve discussed, Carr doesn’t actually believe in things like corporate oversight or healthy market protection, and is actively helping Trump defang what’s left of media and consumer protection oversight. So it was interesting to see Sinclair CEO Chris Ripley beg for regulatory intervention

      Republicans: „Fuck consumers, regulation bad!“

      Republicans when their bad business decisions bite them in the ass: „Please regulate, daddy Trump!“

      > “It’s not clear the extent to which the Kimmel boycott affected Sinclair’s financial results for the quarter; the company did not provide any discussion of the blackout in its earnings press release and the topic did not come up on the call with analysts.”

      They’re a right-wing media outlet, of course they aren’t going to admit anything. They know exactly why they are down 16%.

      Funny how the free market works.

      Also funny – this story only happened because JK said stuff about Charlie Kirk and the MAGA sycophants raised hell. CK seems to have been utterly forgotten by the MAGA crowd (shrug). A nothing burger in death just as he lived.

    5. That will get their attention bigly. Money is the one thing these folks care about.

      Sinclair is a propaganda network.

      They need to have every last person in management investigated. They have shown to value spreading ideological extremism over factual information — this isn’t what we let broadcasters on our airwaves for. I’ll eat my show if they aren’t compromised by a foreign country.

      We wouldn’t let a Soviet propaganda network run free. So why would we let an Israeli one?

      So letting your bigoted ideology guide your business decisions isn’t equal stonks? Who knew.
