Maryland’s largest daily newspaper, the Baltimore Sun, has been acquired by a conservative billionaire who is the biggest owner of local television stations in the US and has provided favorable coverage for former President Donald Trump.
Axios reports David D. Smith, the executive chairman of Sinclair, has acquired The Sun in a private deal from Alden Global Capital. This investment firm is one of the country’s largest newspaper operators.
Heads are exploding all along the BW corridor. Sun staffers are probably wondering if they can make the challenge of transitioning to truth and actual investigative reporting instead of parroting the Left’s talking points.
