Most would agree that our country is the most divided it has been since the Civil War.

Sinclair’s CEO says that is good for his business.

Sinclair’s Chris Ripley appeared at the MoffettNathanson 9th Annual Media and Communications Summit and said this. “On the one hand, I lament that we’re in the political environment that we are,” Ripley said. “On the other hand, it’s very good for our business.”

Ripley says that he expects a huge 3rd and 4th quarter as the political dollars roll in. Ripley called it “big money.”

The abortion battle will also help line Sinclair’s pockets, “More and more issues are going on direct ballots,” he said. “With what’s going on with abortion rights, that’s going to just even add to that category.”

So yeah, the country is falling apart, but as long as Sinclair can cash in, we’re good….right?
