It is not often that I agree with a politician on either side of the aisle. I think most of them are in it for all the wrong reasons and the state of our country, confirms that.

But, in speaking about the Nexstar/Tegna deal, I agree with Senator Elizebeth Warren she she says. "Except for corporate executives, no one is asking for giant companies like Nexstar to gobble up more local news stations, fire reporters, and jack up prices for Americans,” Warren correctly states.

She added that, "Rules exist that protect consumers by prohibiting megadeals like this one and preventing companies from exercising monopoly power — and the government must enforce those rules.”

Sadly, the rules will be changed and this is just another nail in the coffin for local TV news and journalism in general.

I firmly believe that deregulation and consolidation will lead to the death of TV news as we know it.
