David Smith is [WHAT] of Sinclair broadcasting, which owns or operates almost 300 local TV stations across the nation, including Baltimore's channel 45. Mr. Smith, a right-wing ideologue, recently bought the Baltimore Sun. He is financing a large portion of the mayor campaign of Sheila Dixon.
"Smith settled on his chosen candidate after she agreed to his 'checklist' of demands, which included firing the police and schools chiefs, and dismantling a violence-prevention program."
[Smith also contributed to the campaign of Councilperson Eric Costello as well as a campaign for a Charter amendment question to impose term limits on City offices.]
