      NYT published a pivotal story on Page One last spring. Oliver elaborated last summer. Then NYT wrote more. So did other outlets. I wrote the first piece about the promos last month. You know how it is :)

          People have written about Sinclair for decades. My first stories on them go back to the mid-1990s when they only owned a handful of stations.

          Perhaps instead of congratulating yourself on the very little you've done, you could take this moment to reflect on why you haven't done more.

          Last time I checked none of them (or any reporter whose written about Sinclair) works at the FCC.

          ...for a reporter to say this is troubling on so many levels. (Not even counting the grammatical "whose/who's" error.) You have vastly more power, influence and access than your readership; you can inform and educate. But your fallback whine is "well we aren't in direct control!"

          I am not trying to pick a fight. Are you suggesting I walk out on my job because of what another company is doing? There are plenty of advocacy groups battling Sinclair, perhaps you should make a contribution to one of them.

          I have and do. And don’t be cute; you know that’s not what I’m suggesting. I’m suggesting that instead of picking fights on twitter you report more often, more deeply and more urgently on the takeover. And coming from a reporter, your “it’s not my business” attitude is chilling.

          And your response illustrates another problem: the public does not owe you some debt of gratitude for the job you do and getting mad when you’re not lauded enough is silly. If you were under the impression that journalism meant endless kudos then you’re in the wrong profession.

          I don’t know where you got the idea I or any of us are looking for congrats. I merely pointed out that Sinclair didn’t pop up out of nowhere yesterday and that some of us geezers have been writing about the company for three decades.

          And nobody is making that argument, either. I'm merely pointing out that you're doing a terrible job writing about the company and the risks that its growing influence on local television stations represents. Where I got the idea you're looking for congrats is from your tweets.
