If I had to guess I'd say that the investigation is a disciplining factor, but that more important are the opposition to the deal from conservative media competitors as well as just how brazen and shoddy the Sinclair shell company set-ups are.

Well Newsmax had opposed it for much of the year without Pai and pals caring much. But yeah I do think the bullshit must have been comically brazen on the shell company stuff (exposed thanks to a lot of your work) for him to fold in this way.

Yeah, the Chicago one is particularly comical. Couldn't be much more transparent than handing it off to a local car dealer when you sit on his board and run a restaurant in his building. I guess a T-Rex like Sinclair Broadcasting has a different view of what "arm's length" means.

I expect the inspector general will find no concrete evidence (or nothing on the scale of Scott Pruitt), so I don't think this is the big issue. I suspect Sinclair's side deals with a car salesman and family members makes this fodder for embarrassing corruption

“Embarrassing corruption

Do you have any information that your statement is true about an internal investigation? If so, let’s have it and let’s get it to the President to get this guy to resign.

Investigation was widely announced in February of 2018. Not aware of any announced outcome so probably still in progress.https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/15/technology/fcc-sinclair-ajit-pai.html …

Oh, that. That was apparently unsubstantiated reporting that was never backed up by any follow up, by anyone, even by the Times. Dead end. Wish it had been substantiated.

Thanks for adding this important context. I’ve been trying to put this together.
