and it was the sinclaire farm. they picked up the pieces from their store and managed to rent a broken down horse from the federal government, and broken down, i'm not exact ri sure what they mean by that. it's a horse that was no longer deemed useful to the army but one they could still use while working the land. they started living in a small house and working the land around it. that's where they were when robert e. lee surrendered in april of 1865. it brings us back to where i started today. the whitehurss may have envisioned this is the place they would stay for the long term since that's what many other refugees from slavery envisioned about the places where they had taken up residents during the war. despite the deprivation, illness and suffering, these were places where children were born. where families reunited after years apart. where the injured and the sick recovered or where they departed this life. space is where they picked up the pieces from slavery and began to envision the future. these settleme

of the , and, sinclair buying 20% amazon came in as a funding partner. a funding partner or is there a strategic aspect for amazon? >> i think there will be a strategic aspect. business in the video with amazon prime. they are not in the sports side of the business. this is them dipping their toe into sports and sports rights. it is very important in professional sports leagues. look at espn and fox points one dealing with declining subscribers and profits and worried about will companies be able to continue to bid up my sports rights. the answer is maybe not, but maybe these big technology companies will come in and look to buy sports. i think this is good news. said they broadcast portland nets games. no opinions, just facts. thanks to paul sweeney. let's turn to the consumer space. the consumer is offsetting some weaker parts of the gdp in the second quarter. spending grew 4.7%. individual retailers are not faring well. uncertainty about consumer habits, then some other earnings by dollar general as well as others. let's bring in our next guest, an an

the new press secretary interv but the problems is eric bowling is a part san, at the top level, sinclaird ga nization. it seeps like they did sort of an introduction to the nation and average movab audiences. if you go on fox, people aret if you go on ms nbc or cnn people are not vable. local news you talk to e people who want to get it straight. >> you're absolutely right. before we let you go, i'm curious, as weove ahead, you know, go back to th idea that a lot of journalists saw this - being victim- they saw themselveslaying the role of victim, they're picking on the media. but you look at the hefoil, t jim oustas, ild say, april ryan, there were a lot of people that you know when you yo to ou know there's a certain position they shall going to take.n' and thet have to be friendly. it's their job to ask qstions and sometimes icomes off adversarial. did a lot people think it came to this call to pmits look at us, we're getting answerss on camera. >> i think there's something to be said for people grifting off it is a w to sort of build up your profile to do the personom doingbat with a

that's not a sinclair camera is it? so many stations you have a content of news. in sinclair's case, there was a political bend, then you have 20% of the paper is local. you claim it is a local paper but it is just an iteration of the same stuff they are putting in every paper, every regional paper that they own and that is not a positive development but it seems to me from an economic standpoint may be one of the only things that is economically sustainable. >> other questions? >> i am a reporter with science magazine, question for the panelists if they want to weigh in, i am curious why the digital only publications fry on the coast and can you connect the dots on that and what we might learn from that? >> not quite sure. that is a good question. lots of cities on the coast have very digital things. a lot of times it is nonprofit online so it may be an issue of where the funding is going and where the funders are interested but the local news is great because every place has its own story. the local news organization decided to become a nonprofit and truck do th

, that is not a sinclair camera. [laughter] but some of the stations that you have a conscience of news in the sinclair's case and is not as bad locally, there is a political -- give up or content of news and then maybe 20% of the paper is local seeking claim at the local paper but it's really just an iteration of the same stuff that they're putting in every paper that they own. and it is not a positive development but it seems from an economic standpoint that maybe one of the only things with that would be economically sustainable. >> we have another question. >> i'm a reporter with science magazine. question for michael or any other panelist. i am curious about why the digital only publications you said seemed to thrive on the coast and can you connect the dots on that and why that is and what we might learn from that? >> i am not quite sure, i think that is a good question, there's lots of cities on the coast that have digital enabled folks and certainly a lot of times it is nonprofit online so maybe to a certain

and then they operate somewhat like sinclair. that is not a sinclair camera there is it? [laughter] you bought so many stations that you have a core content of news. in sinclair's case, there is a political bent. you have a core content of news, then you have maybe 20% of the papers local. see could claim that his local -- that it is a local paper but , it is really just an iteration of the same stuff that they are paper, in every regional paper that they own. that is not a positive development. it seems to me from an economic standpoint, that may be one of the only things that is going to be economically sustainable to do it that way. tamar hallerman: we have another question. >> i'm a reporter with science magazine and used to be with the oakland tribune. i'm curious about why the digital only publications, you said seemed to thrive just on the coasts. can you connect the dots on that? and what we might learn from that? michael barthel: yes. i'm not quite sure. that is a good question. there a lot of cities on the coast that have very digital, digitally enabled folks. a

there was an investigation and a settlement of $9.5 million with sinclair. i wanted to state that for the record. consumers watch video is changing. but for a lot of folks, they still receive local news, weather, emergency news and local entertainment over air and by way of cable and satellite. this is a complicated issue for those in the video market, so i am glad to see so many stakeholders at the table, so we can get this right. we need to remember the bottom line, that consumers have access to local, diverse programming. that is important to millions of americans. to senatorestion is mr. smith, ceo- of nab. latinos send amenities of color depend on free, local broadcasts for local news. rate ofdiscuss the viewership amongst communities of color? yes, and it is one of the proudest thing we have to offer as free, local broadcasters, that those who exclusively rely on us tend to be minority communities and the economically disadvantaged. we are proud of univision, telemundo, members of our association. we are doing everything we can to make sure there is co

disney selling that stake to a consortium that includes sinclair broadcast group the yankees againstong other investors. people speculated that amazon would control the network but sinclair will be directing how the network is run disney selling that stake that it got when it got the fox regional sports networks as part of the big sale. they're getting rid of that yankees part, network, yes, to amazon sinclair and the yankees among other investors valuing the channel at about $3.5 billion. back to you. >> thanks. i think amazon being in the mix there is interesting. >> were we expecting this kind of consortium? >> i think one of the options that was floated out there, multiple investors sinclair bought the 21 regional sports networks that disney unloaded initially and did indicate an appetite for more. amazon's presence is interesting. there was some talk that amazon to make a biggest splash with it and interesting to see how they deal with streaming of the content because right now i believe it's a box sports app to stream some of the yes content so that might change. >> just the fa

this is essentially egregious for us when sinclair family sent us. we could drive all the way to save lewis buy tickets hotdogs popcorn and beer for the price of what we pay sinclair for subscriber but i wonder whether broadcasters want this. their behavior and practices and system for their prices are especially bad for smaller parties like me. the ftc reports the small cable operators pay on average between 30% more than what we pay for transmission consent. for my system that is 7% tuesday before affiliated broadcast systems make up 20% of my programming fees and the rest is for the other three entered towns. that percentage is more than 200%. i know you all care as much about is your constituents as i do about my customers who are elderly and they depend on us for that video service and who are greatly impacted by a higher subscription fee. a lot of these folks can't get satellite or dish not because it's not available to them but because they can't afford it. they don't have checking accounts. they don't have credit cards. they don't have credit

in fact, it bothered and puzzled him that during his time, s sinclair lewis had been awarded the nobel prize in literature, the first american to receive the nobel prize in literature. this bothered him because he felt sinclair lewis was mocking main street, and chesterton found main street america to be one of america's most laudable assets. like tocqueville, chesterton commented on the importance of local governing ras, a societal arrangement he saw on the decline in which he thought americans should work to recover. a true democracy, he observed, was a system where the people actually knew and lived near those who governed them. chesterton argued, we should try to make politics as local as possible. he whimsically asked, while making a serious point, that we should keep politicians near enough to kick them. like tocqueville, chesterton noted individualistic and conformist tendencies, and while he wished for the recovery of more local governance, he viewed quite positively smalltown life and the salient american habit of joining together. he saw in this habit as he put it the power t

towns across this country but you don't want to bite the hand that feeds you and reporters that sinclair broadcast group certainly don't think claire gives so much cash to republicans that when montana congressman greg gianforte body slammed a guardian reporter a sun claire owned by n.b.c. affiliate were fused the cover his criminal progress along move. sometimes on corporate money is involved you have to treat a big story the same way n.b.c. news x. years after brian williams fabricated several stories as if it never happened. we already pretend a lot of things aren't happening when 6 corporations own something like 80 percent of all t.v. and print news in the country this merger only gets rid of journalists who can hold corporations accountable for their greed and and if we didn't have paid and bought for politicians we could reverse the laws that make these mergers possible in the 1st place well if an congress can reverse the laws they need to do it by 2020 i write otherwise all journalists will be thrown into the business never to be seen again. and i bet this $50.00 they can't leave

this was almost across everywhere we looked on the right in media whether it's from sinclair, whethere rush limbaugh's. websites like the gateway pundit has appeared on the drudge report. you are talking about websites, shows, talk shows on the radio, on television that have the potential to reach tens of millions of people a week. >> jeremy, this is eddie. this -- i found the article fascinating. talk to me more about the ecosystem of hate. you're using the language of people on the right but we know that is a kind of spectrum. but what we're seeing is it's collapsing with this language, right? so the alt-right or white nationalist who use replacement language and then you have fox news using replacement language. so this in some ways peeling the curtain back of the echo system of hate. not the loud ones, but the folks who are also mainstream. so talk a little bit more about what this means in terms of the nature of the languages of hate and fear that circulate in the country today. >> that's exactly right, eddie, because it's migrated from the fringe to the mainstream in conservativ

david: sinclair is going into regional sports. how does that fit with what the tennis channel does?deal just got announced last week, but it has been a company involved in local sports with many hundreds of television stations. i cannot keep track. david: 198. ken: understanding the local market is what is most important , local news and local sports. with these regional sports networks, we have 21 from the fox-disney transaction, plus marquis in chicago with the cubs. what it allows is -- these are the biggest numbers in the market by far when these local teams are playing. it is a perfect confluence for tennis, which is national, local, and international. david: tennis channel, you're doing well. a long time you are at this, it was not always pretty. you stuck with this and got it done. what is the next opportunity for the tennis channel? ken: that is the fun. once you establish that brand, you can take off. we made the link to digital antennas needed it. you can watch all of the other matches. now tennis channel plus. we just launched our podcast network so we have eight podcasts

beneficial in terms of giving local outlets voices, but at the same time, sinclair is buying all these local news stations and no one is really covering that story very well. so i don't really know, to be honest. i think it is helpful to pay attention to what local news is doing. for example, "washington post and west virginia paper just published this massive report on opioids and how basically we funneled millions of pills into these small communities. partnershipamazing between the washington post and this small west virginia paper whose community was totally torn apart by opioid addiction. i think we should be partnering more with local news, big outlets. that would be something that would be really cool. olivia: breanna mentioned this briefly. i think attention could be the answer to both, news organizations paying attention to diversity. at abc we have fellowships, paid internships, and are in touch with different schools throughout the country. in terms of your second part of the question, how do we cover the entire country instead of just the big cities? that wewe are lucky in
