Not thrilled about it going to Nexstar if true.

I hope it is not true but if they do sell please sell to anyone but Nexstar.
Why would they sell a respected broadcast organization that they can lean on to sway public opinion? Even if it is only indirectly in choosing what stories to run, instead of how to report them?
Probably because in this day and age, network news is far less important than it was when ABC was bought? At this point, why would they care what ABC runs? They've got more than enough sympathetic news orgs on their side.
Because they're going to need it in the next day and age.
This was not something I was expecting to read.
