Media critics are sounding the alarm.
Sinclair Broadcasting Is Raising Money for the GOP in ‘Blatantly Unethical’ New Scheme
Sinclair Broadcasting Group, the nation’s largest television company with 173 stations nationwide, is raising concerns among ethics experts and journalists for its decision to solicit contributions for its political action committee from some of the company’s employees.
In a Jan. 31 letter to newsroom directors from David Amy, the broadcaster’s vice chairman and head of the Sinclair Political Action Committee, the company—known for its right-wing slant and fighting federal regulations to acquire 42 more stations from Tribune Media—urged its employees to “please take the time to evaluate the importance that the Sinclair PAC can have towards benefitting our company and the needs of the industry as a whole.”
