David D. Smith, chairman of Sinclair Broadcast Group, an all-around scoundrel who has been at the forefront of his company selling local news tainted with right-wing hackery. He is solely to blame for all this and just incinerated a relationship with ABC that went back decades. Say his name out loud
@juddlegum.bsky.socialUPDATE: Sinclair is NOT going to broadcast Jimmy Kimmel, even though ABC is resuming production.
Sinclair has demanded that Kimmel personally donate to Turning Point USA, a right-wing political organization.
David Smith, executive chairman of Sinclair, donated 250K to Turning Point USA last year.
