Why is this happening? I’ll explain. If the FCC approves Nexstar’s merger deal, the company’s reach would increase from 39% to more than 80% of US households. But the deal ALSO depends on the FCC eliminating the current 39% cap on reach. Sinclair has been lobbying for this change as well.

The bottom-line reality is that I'm not here to debate the death penalty. It's wrong. The end. I've also thought through the ins and outs and you're not going to surprise me with what you think is a gotcha question. I cover executions because they are a moral failing carried out in our name.
