Why are you writing hypothetically about what this article is reporting Sinclair actually doing? Do you not realize that Sinclair is one of the "right-wing douchebags control[ling] much of American media" of which you speak?
Sure they are. I'm not being hypothetical, I'm just pointing out that there was never anything stopping them from doing exactly what they're doing except maybe the Fairness Doctrine, and that was revoked forty years ago. It isn't so much a death blow to democracy as it is business as usual.
