Fuck the NAB.
I used to be a NAB member. They are utter shit. Totally beholden to Sinclair, News Corp. et al.
"That is a danger to our democracy"
You couldn’t be more correct. The NAB became shills for Sinclair. I have to deal with Sinclair on a yearly basis, usually on New Year’s Eve when they try to bully people into accepting their shitty contracts. Fuck Sinclair too, they’re part of the problem our country has right now with the dissemination of misinformation. Fucking trolls the whole lot of them.
Just completely devoid of shame, aren’t they?
Yeah, they use it as a negotiation tactic since they know we have to have a team member at every location we own across the country on standby ready to pull the plug. Since no one wants to be at work on New Year’s Eve they think it works against us. What they don’t understand is that even though none of us want to work that night we will gladly pull the plug on their asses even if that means working on New Year’s Eve. Somehow a deal is usually reached just before midnight.
No wonder broadcast media is dying. They really jumped the shark when they hired that squid
Ha! Not exactly, but okay.
Yes exactly.
