The Sinclair Broadcast Group responded to its critics (see “Sinclair Broadcast group shoots self in foot“) with this press release. Frankly, I think they missed the point. Or more likely, they chose to step gingerly around it. PR people are trained to do that, you know — say a lot without saying anything, apologize without really apologizing, deflect and equivocate, etc. But that’s just my opinion. Judge for yourself.
