How much was Sinclair paid to air the content? I mean... how could you possibly write an article without including this sort of information? It is impossible to know whether the fine levied was at all reasonable without knowing how much Sinclair profited from breaking the law. If they were paid $13.4 million + $1 or more, then the FCC has guaranteed that airing such content will become standard business practice. Only if they were paid less than $13.4 million is there even the slightest hope that their actions will be modified in the future.
