Somebody’s got to stop this thing, I can’t trust the FCC, which used to be a watchdog for the public’s best interest. This merger is all about monopoly, money, and making nice with the White House. It’s certainly NOT in the best interest of the community and journalism. How can it be? One owner of the Fox, CBS, and NBC affiliates in a single market?? Come on now! The owners of WISH are already folding in WRTV Channel 6, that’s one big loss. If the Nextstar-Tegna acquisition goes through, where there used to be five competitive local newsrooms will be shaved down to two. Again, how is that in the best interest of the community?
The “Best Interest of the Community” no longer exists.
