Rusty Muck 4378 Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 I meant to say... Try tossing around the word "Collusion" in a real legal setting and a judge would laugh his ass off. "Counselor....you have been watching way too much fake news...get the hell out of my courtroom and turn in your state bar card." "I move for a bad court thingy." "You mean a mistrial?" "Yeah!"

cna247 174 Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 No. Collusion is not a crime. You can use that word all you want...but there is no USC section about Collusion. Nothing... Nada... Cite a section... cite a charge? Ask any attorney...there is NO crime called collusion. Criminal Conspiracy is a real charge. But nobody has even been accused or charged with that. Or just ask anyone at CNN....Or MSNBC to cite a USC section. They can't, "Collusion" is just a sinister word with NO legal meaning. I meant to say... Try tossing around the word "Collusion" in a real legal setting and a judge would laugh his ass off. "Counselor....you have been watching way too much fake news...get the hell out of my courtroom and turn in your state bar card."

dman748 1256 Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 It'll depend upon what happens with this ad collusion investigation that'll determine what happens with Tribune, it could either be someone like a Hearst to Warren Buffett to Soo Kim who could buy Tribune or it'll have no choice but to go piecemeal Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16335-sinclair-and-tribune-part-2-the-redux/page/26/#findComment-209501 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidwestTV 1232 Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Why did Scott Jones put a paywall on his site anyway? Losing money? Not to get off topic, but just to answer your question. I don't think he was "losing" money so much as he wasn't making any money. Lots of people do Patreons now so fans of their work can support them and they can keep dedicating the time to whatever project it is they're doing.

NEOMatrix 1299 Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Those stations were renewed back in 2016. (The Fox affiliate stations) Would they be up for renewal so soon? IIRC, the ex-O&Os still were under the ten-year deal with Fox dating back to the LocalTV days. Since the Sinclair is likely dead, Tribune decided to re-jigger the contract to be favorable for both Fox and Tribune.
