One thing at a time. That one’s still fresh and is a lot bigger, so that one might take more time.

> If the acquisition is finalized , Nexstar stations would cover 80% of the U.S. population, exceeding a 39% ownership cap set by Congress. For those wondering why this is a big deal. Maybe you don't watch local TV news, but you can bet your ass that millions of Americans who vote do. A single corporate entity having this much control can only spell disaster (so of course Trump is championing it).
