As Sinclair Broadcast Group, the nation's largest TV station owner, is supposedly kicking the tires of Tribune Broadcasting, 21st Century Fox is supposedly hitching up with the Blackstone Group to purchase Trib, in what some are saying seems to be an offensive move to keep Sinclair, whose station portfolio includes a lot of Fox affils, from having more influence on the network and demand more compensation from Fox:

They already have the former CBS reporter Sharyl Attkisson on their payroll doing a Sunday morning show for the Sinclair stations and we all know who doesn't have jobs at Fox News anymore. And on the other side, if Fox does take over Tribune, they will have to sell stations in New York, Chicago, LA and Washington, among other cities. -- -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
