2004 Election

Sinclair Broadcast Group is also a …

If you guessed “Military Contractor in Iraq”, you win today’s prize!

Jadoo announced+ a little over two weeks ago that:

Sinclair Broadcast Group in Illinois

The Sinclair Broadcast Group owns TV stations that blanket 24% of the US population. Sinclair’s CEO is David Smith, a major Bush contributor. Why is that important?

Check this out:

That pretty much sums up the election at this point: People will watch the debate between John Kerry and George […]

Polling conducted between July 15 and Sept. 19 […]

Trial Lawyers, Good vs. Bad

Ernie points to an interesting debate over whether John Edwards’ career as a trial lawyer is a good thing or a bad thing when it comes to being a candidate for Vice President.
