WASHINGTON — The Tuesday night rout of Republican candidates up and down the ballot has triggered alarm bells in Republican circles that a deteriorating political environment could set in motion a Democratic wave in the 2018 midterm elections.
Republicans suddenly fear disastrous 2018
No elected Democrat should vote for any Republican authored piece of legislation.
Trump’s Justice Department is all worked up about AT&T buying Time Warner.
Session’s Monopoly Division said it will not approve the sale unless AT&T sells CNN.
We all remember CNN, the cable network that Trump hates. Pure politics.
We all know that it’s about Trump playing favorites and punishing his enemies because the Sinclair Broadcasting Group wants to buy Tribune Media (Chicago Tribune and WGN) as well as the FOX Group.
That would give Sinclair about 72% of the market share nationally. According to the current law a monopoly in this industry is defined as ownership of more then a 39% of market share nationally.
So where is the outrage from Session’s Justice Department about the Sinclair Broadcasting Group’s monopoly move??
Oh that’s right, the Sinclair Broadcasting Group is a reactionary right wing media gang who strongly supports Trump and his Fascist politics and policies.
Never mind.
