Sinclair and SCOTUS

Sinclair Broadcast Group -- which already owns 62 TV stations around the country -- wants the Supreme Court to allow it to own even more. The company's joined other owner groups asking the high court to reverse an order limiting the number of stations a company can own.

Sinclair has found itself tangled in political controversy from the 2004 Presidential election campaign when it attempted to run an anti-Kerry documentary -- Stolen Honor -- on the eve of the election, and more recently for it's involvement in the Payola Pundit Scandal and close ties to commentator Armstrong Williams, a key player in that scandal.
