BR,

Chairman Powell got his job as payment in kind to his daddy Colin Powell for services rendered to the Bush Administration (mostly for lying on their behalf to the rest of the World about Saddam's nonexistant WMD and not minding being treated like garbage by the Neocons). In return, Chairman Powell became the great Enabler for the Right Wing Media Mafia, of which Sinclair is just one family, to buy up all the local stations and press.

By airing the peace of garbage Sinclair is paying back (illegally) to the Bush campaign for services Chairman Powell rendered to Sinclair on behalf of the Bush administration.

Why would Chairman Powell block an illegal payment in kind to the Bush campaign? He is the 'enforcer' in this little charade. He maybe corrupt but he is not stupid, your Chairman Powell. He is actually a LAWYER.
