Podcast appearances and mentions of sinclair tribune

In this Flagship Flashback episode of the Wade Keller Pro Wrestling Podcast from five years ago (5-10-2017), PWTorch editor Wade Keller was joined by PWTorch contributor Andrew Soucek to discuss a wide array of topics on the Mid-Week Flagship edition including Chris Jericho's self-assessment of his latest run in WWE and whether he engaged in his tendency to inflate his self-worth, reaction to Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson saying he might run for President of the United States, does Billy Corgan's purchase of the NWA mean anything in 2017, reaction to Batista's latest statements on his desire to return to WWE and whom he'd like to wrestle, potential major changes in how WWE reaches fans on television, the states of Impact wrestling pro and con, the potential impact on ROH of the Sinclair-Tribune deal, and more on pro wrestlers utilizing social media in a counter-productive way. Live callers mix into the conversation on several of the above topics.

Kelcee Griffis is a Washington, D.C.-based reporter covering the telecommunications industry for Law360, a legal trade wire read by some of the most powerful law firms and government agencies. Her reporting takes her to the Federal Communications Commission, K Street law firms, Capitol Hill, the Pentagon and even the White House as she writes about policy and legislation affecting the media industry. She’s worked on stories on the fight over net neutrality regulations, telecommunication lobbying interests in the Trump administration, the future of 5G mobile technology, the failed Sinclair-Tribune merger and the pending Sprint-T-Mobile merger.

How a huge media merger, primed for approval by the Federal Communications Commission and its Republican chairman, went wrong. Just a few months ago, Sinclair Broadcast Group, based in Hunt Valley, appeared ready to close a $3.9 billion deal for Tribune Media that would make Sinclair the most powerful broadcast group in the nation with more than 200 stations, a presence in New York and Los Angeles and a challenge to FOX News in the conservative media arena. But first the Sinclair-Tribune deal hit snags, then collapsed — even though the Trump administration supported the merger and the FCC chairman favored consolidation. In August, Tribune ended up suing Sinclair for $1 billion for breach of contract.On the show: Sun media critic David Zurawik elaborates on his review of Sinclair's year on the Z on TV blog, and in print this weekend.

Then, we hop back to 2006 where we see current (2018) champions: AJ Styles, Austin Aries, and Jay Lethal all on the same card...plus the dream match of Samoa Joe and Kurt Angle. T-N-A T-N-A! The review starts around 43:00.

A merger that would have given a conservative broadcasting company access to 73 percent of US households is now officially dead. Today, the Tribune Media Company announced that it has terminated its $3.9 billion merger agreement with Sinclair Broadcast Group, and is now suing Sinclair for $1 billion for breach of contract.

Gary, Lyn and Dee discuss current events and politics.  We start with our US Senator, Cory Gardner.  But, we quickly move to Space Force.  A new $8B service announced by the person who touches the stuff that NASA labels as sensitive equipment and “Do Not Touch.”  We converse on Health Care for All.  A new study funded by the Koch bros. Found that ‘Healthcare for All’ would cost upwards of $32.6T (that’s trillions.)  A lot of people are upset about that price tag.  What they don’t tell you is that it is less than what we pay now!  And, this coverage would include everyone, with lower deductibles and co-pays, and cover dental and vision.  Healthcare for all is a bargain, but it would put the donor class out of business.  So, let’s not hold our breath on that.  In a follow-up to last week’s story on LeBron James ‘I Promise’ school, there is a petition going around to replace Betsy DeVos with LeBron for Secretary of Education.  We at least know he cares about public school children.  We go over the leaked tape of Devin Nunes at a fundraiser explaining why they can’t impeach Rod Rosenstein until after they get Bret Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court.  In a spot of good news, the Sinclair -Tribune merger is off.  Not because anyone has a conscience there, but because the combination would be too strong a challenger for Fox ‘News.’  Lyn gives us some book reviews.  We discuss election initiatives that will be on the Colorado ballot.  We examine the insider trading allegations against Congressman Collins.  (He has since decided to suspend his re-election campaign.)  Gary gives us a list of the ‘Trumpiest Men in Congress.’  We review the good news coming out of Missouri with voters rejecting the ‘Right-to-Work’ law imposed by the statehouse there.  Colorado is a ‘Right-to-Work’ state as well.  Maybe we can get an initiative for the 2020 election to repeal that?  A US federal judge has allowed a climate change lawsuit against the current Republican administration to go forward.  We consider the new updated Canadian post offices that are designed to reduce gas used by consumers.  (They even have changing rooms and drive up service for package pick-up!)  In another Canadian story Doug Ford is promising $1 beer.  (He is the brother of Rob Ford, and now the Premier of Ontario.) #SpaceForce #MedicareForAll #NunesTapes #SinclairTribune #CO2018Elections #InsiderTrading #RightToWork #ClimateChange #CanadaPost #$1Beer Like listening to this podcast?

Gary and Dee discuss current events and politics.  Lyn is on vacation this week.  We start with Good News!  The Sinclair-Tribune merger is on hold.  In Philadelphia, Christian adoption agencies don’t have a license to discriminate; and, in Delaware, reproductive rights are protected.  We discuss some of the events of Trump’s latest trip abroad.  What exactly did Trump agree to in the private meeting with Putin?  Putin seems to think we’ll be handing over a former US Ambassador and a British citizen (Browder.)  NY AG Underwood is investigating the Trump Foundation.  We discuss the lack of election security.  Of the millions set aside to protect the 2018 election, none has been spent.  It’s almost as if the Republican Administration wants it to get hacked.  There was a new executive order signed this week that let dark money to 501 (C) 4 organizations go without monitoring.  Could it be because of all the money that the Russians gave to the NRA?  We discuss the new rule that was supposed to make Association Health Plans more attractive.  It’s actually having the opposite effect.  Where is that military parade money coming from?  It’s coming from abandoning our ally, South Korea.  We discuss the Puerto Rico death toll.  Starting with Hurricane Irma and continuing through Maria and today, more people have died in Puerto Rico from the 2017 Hurricane season than died in the 9/11/2001 attacks.  We finish with a discussion on the suicide rates of interns.   Suicide rates are up in male interns.

Uber announced that it will stop implementing its long-time policy of forcing passengers who allege sexual assault at the hands of drivers into arbitration. All Uber passengers, drivers and employees will now be able to choose the venue in which they wish to bring their claims. CNN reported two weeks ago that passengers have accused 103 Uber drivers of sexual assault over the past 4 years. Sara Ashley O’brien reports in CNN. House takes up Net Neutrality CRA The House is now reviewing the Senate’s Congressional Review Act resolution to nullify the Trump administration FCC’s repeal of the net neutrality rules the FCC adopted back in 2015. The House needs to vote on the resolution by June 12th. Representative Mike Doyle—a Democrat from Pennsylvania—introduced a companion resolution, but that can’t come to a floor vote until the House votes on the Senate’s resolution, which needs 218 votes to pass a House in which Republicans hold a 52-member majority. John Eggerton reports in Broadcasting and Cable. House Committee rejects Trump’s efforts to water down ZTE sanctions The House Appropriations Committee agreed by voice vote last week to disabuse the Trump administration of any notion that it would be watering down sanctions against Chinese phone manufacturer ZTE. The Trump administration has been at odds with law enforcement over sanctions the administration announced it would be taking against China-based phone manufacturer ZTE, but then backtracked on. A couple of weeks ago, U.S.  Commerce Department Secretary Wilbur Ross imposed a seven-year ban on the sale and purchase of ZTE products. China then requested that the U.S. ease up on the sanctions because they’d likely devastate the company. President Trump and Ross had begun reconsidering the sanctions and the president says they’re working more closely with Chinese President Xi a “way to get back into business, fast”.   But law enforcement officials, including FBI Director Christopher Wray, told a Senate Appropriations subcommittee that he was “deeply concerned” about the threat ZTE poses to the U.S. telecommunications network. And Republicans and Democrats alike have for years warned about ZTE’s spying capability. Eli Okun reports for Politico. FCC puts Sinclair-Tribune merger back on the table The FCC has opened a new comment cycle for the Sinclair-Tribune merger. But the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit is still reviewing how many TV stations Sinclair should own. Democratic FCC Commissioner Jessica Rosenworcel says the FCC should wait to reopen the Sinclair docket until after the court makes decision. Reply comments in the new proceeding are due on July 11th. Amazon will adopt board diversity rule Amazon announced, after first resisting a shareholder proposal for Amazon to implement best practices to improve diversity, that it will now support it. The company announced on Monday of last week that it would now adopt a policy to include women and people of color in the applicant pool of candidates for its board seats. The company’s initial resistance sparked outrage from its employees. Justice Department and F.B.I. Investigate Cambridge Analytica Cambridge Analytica, the political data firm that filed for bankruptcy last week after a whistleblower revealed the company misused millions of Facebook users’ data to impact the 2016 presidential election, is now under criminal investigation in the U.S. The Justice Department and F.B.I. are apparently in the early stages of the investigation as they have questioned several witnesses. Cambridge Analytica is principally owned by Robert Mercer—a wealthy political donor. Nicholas Confessore and Matthew Rosenberg report in the New York Times. Trump issues Executive Order on CIO Authority President Trump issued an Executive Order last week that strengthens federal agency Chief Information Officers’ ability to set hiring, budget and agenda goals for their departments’ IT enterprises.  Aaron Boyd reports in NextGov.

It would require disclosures for sponsored posts in addition to explicit ads. Sites would be required to include clear and conspicuous language stating which candidate sponsored the content. Further, it would require sites to keep a record of anyone who attempted to purchase a political placement worth $500 or more. The bill is supported by Senators Klobuchar, Warner, Kilmer, McCain and Coffman. Tech companies form 'Coalition for the American Dream' Major tech companies have lined up in support of young, undocumented immigrants who came to the U.S. as children. The companies will be lobbying Congress for bipartisan legislation to allow so-called "Dreamers" to continue working in the U.S. President Trump decided in September to allow the Dreamers program, which began under the Obama administration, to expire in March of next year. This would affect some 900,000 immigrants. Salvador Rodriguez and Jeffrey Dastin cover this in Reuters.

U.S. proposes new controls to secure the electrical grid The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission last week proposed new controls to protect the nation's electrical grid from hacks. Experts have long worried about the effect an attack on the electrical grid might have on everything from the water supply to cars. The proposed rulemaking focuses on mitigating the impact of malicious transient devices, like laptops and mobile phones. Back in January, the Department of Energy released a report warning of an imminent danger to the electrical grid from cyberattacks.

EU: US Privacy Shield implementation is 'adequate' The European Union has found that the Privacy Shield framework it agreed to with the U.S. last year is working adequately. The Privacy Shield requires the U.S. to ensure the private information of European citizens is adequately protected when it reaches the U.S. However, the first annual report does make some recommendations. It notes that the U.S. could do a better job informing European citizens of their right to redress. Additionally, it says that U.S. agencies should do more to coordinate their compliance efforts.
