Sinclair Chief Says Print Media Has ‘No Real Purpose’

David Smith, the executive chairman of Sinclair Broadcast Group, told New York magazine that he dislikes and fundamentally distrusts the print media, which he believes “serves no real purpose.”

Said Smith: “I must tell that in all the 45 plus years I have been in the media business I have never seen a single article about us that is reflective of reality especially in today’s world with the shameful political environment and generally complete lack of integrity. Facts and truth have been lost for a long time and likely to never return.”

He added: “The print media is so left wing as to be meaningless dribble which accounts for why the industry is and will fade away. Just no credibility.”
