The FCC Inspector General’s office has released its findings regarding the alleged bias—or “lack of impartiality” (tomato, tomato)—of Ajit Pai toward Sinclair Broadcasting during the time that the Sinclair-Tribune merger was a thing. The finding: “no evidence, nor even the suggestion, of impropriety, unscrupulous behavior, favoritism towards Sinclair, or lack of impartiality related to the proposed Sinclair-Tribune merger.” The investigation was prompted by allegations made by members of Congress during a series of inquiries nearly a year ago.
