now, david smith is known not only for his right-wing broadcasting network sinclair but also for his supportive conservative causes and groups including project veritas, turning points usa and moms for liberty. as the new owner of a storied newspaper smith has claimed that precipitate media has no credibility and is so left-wing as to be meaningless dribble. joining me now is brian stelter, special correspondent for "vanity fair." and a native marylander who's been writing about sinclair for decades. brian, thank you for being here. you know better than most that when conservatives take over media organizations they tend to make changes. what are your expectations for a paper that's essential as the baltimore sun? >> yes, i grew up reading the sun. oftentimes when i was in annapolis or baltimore covering a story the only other reporter there was from the baltimore sun. and although the paper has been shrinking for years like most precipitate newspapers across the country, it is still the default, the go-to media outlet for a major american city. so what's going to happen to it now, w

my understanding from sources at the sun and maryland politics is that david smith has been interestingun for quite some time. he sits at home in his mansion in suburban baltimore, he watches what's going on in the city, and he thinks he can somehow make a difference, and let's be clear, make a difference means advance a right-wing agenda by buying up the only big newspaper in town. this is a part of a pattern, alex, of old school newspaper and news outlets becoming is on these. they get taken over by these right-wing buyers. they become shells of their formal selves, and they become political machines. this is going to happen as proof it way and truth and handlers move to digital. alex, there's something we can do about it. we can support the alternatives. >> yeah, i want to get to that. but i do think it's important to note how the articulated fixation on crime and police's a really important part of the ecosystem that internet fuels the right-wing broader agenda. can you talk a little bit more about that, given your experience at fox news where they love talking about crime and backi

david smith is known, not only for his right-wing broadcasting network, sinclair, but his support ofor liberty. as the new owner of a storied newspaper, smith has claimed, print media has no credibility, and is so left wing as to be meaningless dribble. joining me now, brian stelter, special correspondent for vanity fair. author of network of lies, the epic saga of fox news, donald trump, and the battle for american democracy. and, a native marylander who's been running about sinclair for decades. brian, thank you for being here. you know better than most, when conservatives takeover media organizations, they tend to make changes. what are your expectations for a paper that is essential as the baltimore sun? >> i grew up reading the sun. often, when i was in annapolis, or baltimore, the only other reporter there was from the baltimore sun. although the paper has been shrinking for years, like most printed newspapers across the country, it is still the default. the go-to media outlet for a major american city. what happens to it now, alex? i fear this is the end of the sun as a nonpar

smith even want to buy the "baltimore sun"?evenge. you see, in 1996, the sun reported that smith was caught by police in an undercover sting while receiving oral sex from a prostitute in a company-owned car with the embarrassing detail that the prostitute broke off conversation with an undercover police officer when she saw her regular date driving in the area [ laughter ] so not only was dave smith paying for sex, he was silver medallion status [ laughter ] i'm not saying the guy bought the newspaper just to get back at them for reporting on him getting busted with a prostitute in 1996. more likely he bought the newspaper to keep them from reporting on it the next time he gets busted with a prostitute. or, worse, so he can use reporters like drew ortiz to provide alibis this is why staffers at "the new york daily news" and "forbes" staged walkouts last week. this is what our industry went on strike over last year, and if we're not careful, it will happen to every industry think about it thousands of workers laid off and millio

call david smith call yourself like david smith or bond you or something and bond claim you work oh,s tough. he got he got caught after being admitted to hospital with with covid and, uh, so yeah , i don't know how uh, so yeah, i don't know how that led to him being well, presumably they some presumably they took some some records at that point. records from him at that point. >> they match all but >> do they match him all up? but i you've to i mean i mean, you've got to i mean it's laughing matter. he's it's no laughing matter. he's accused is accused of a serious sexual is it an actual rape isn't it i think something . think or something. >> yeah, i believe so. he had a troubled at troubled upbringing at adolescence suffered adolescence and care suffered abuse and neglect and was maybe 15, years ago. 15, 20 years ago. >> yeah . so, you know, it's been >> yeah. so, you know, it's been a picaresque he seems a picaresque tale, but he seems to remarkably good to be in remarkably good spirits, though he was sort of giving thumbs up as he was wheeled the court . wheeled out of the court.

obviously david smith has a particular political agenda. surprised if you didn't try to turn the baltimore sun into something that looked more like the new york post. having said that, look, baltimore is a very blue city. there is nothing he's going to do to turn that red. the baltimore suburbs are pretty blue also. so he's got to understand who his audiences, and if he goes too far in the wrong direction, he's going to have a bigger problem with the economics of that paper than what he thought he had when he came to the rescue. >> i don't think he cares, though. they have been rich man who bought newspapers and then blowing them up. there is that it's been going on. he called the baltimore sun print media in general meaningless dribble, and then told the people that worked there he hadn't even read it in for decades. yeah, i don't read it. so it's funny, he's a local guy. it's maryland and so he's local so the idea that maybe he's a community guy and that the newspaper could improve, is there, except that he's not in it won't. >> i think n

. >> david smith is also executive chair of sinclair broadcasting, which brought criticism for injecting conservative and right-wing commentary into its local news broadcast that owns over 200 local tv stations. what concerns you have about how that might in act the sun journalism moving forward? >> we have examples historically where newspapers had political agendas. i think the question is where do those play out? do they play out on the editorial page where we've come to expect political endorsements and political campaigns as it were played out by owners and publishers? i think that is something we are accustomed to. where it gets really dangerous and interferes with the reporting obligations of a newspaper is when you see that agenda creep in to the news. and we have certainly seen that. we have seen national campaigns rollout at sinclair, for instance. where many of the markets will be required to read these statements about faith, which effectively sounded like an attack on the press that mimicked the one president trump was voicing at the time. i think there are differences. you

meanwhile, "the baltimore sun" is in a state of turmoil after it was recently purchased by david smith, the chair of the right-wing news network sinclair. and those are some of the headlines. this is democracy now!, democracynow.org, the war and peace report. i'm amy goodman in new york, joined by democracy now!'s juan gonzÁlez in chicago. hi, juan. juan: hi, amy. welcome to all of our listeners and viewers from around the country and around the world. amy: former president donald trump won new hampshire's primary on tuesday by over 11 percentage points. a vote of 54%, defeating former u.n. ambassador nikki haley who got 43%. haley was the last major challenger to trump after florida governor ron desantis ended his presidential bid on sunday night. trump is the first non-incumbent republican presidential candidate to win races in both iowa and new hampshire since both states began leading the election calendar in 1976. in his victory speech on tuesday, trump criticized haley for losing new hampshire and vowed he would beat president biden in november. >> we have won a must ever single
