They bought a TV and radio group in the 80s, and our news dept broadcast unfavorable news about republican party shenanigans at the state caucus. Producers and reporters were fired within days, followed by the news director, and before long, it was my turn. I merely recorded the video.
They predate Sinclair and have the same intent. This time... influence public libraries. It's more than money.
