I referred to the number of TV stations, as that is how Gurtov himself defined how widespread Sinclair is.  

Sorry, but even looking at it from that perspective, Mr Gurtov is still engaging in gross exaggeration in his letter.  

He said:  " That would give it control over more than 70 percent of the market."

OK, so Sinclair can reach 70% of the TV sets in the USA.   But that does not then give them "control" of that market.    Saying something like that is utter nonsense.

Again, it is Mr Gurtov who stands in opposition to diversity in media.  

I have no problem in hearing viewpoints from all sides.   I'm even OK with the University of Oregon's KWVA's weekly Anarchy Radio program hosted by local Anarchist John Zerzan.    Now Zerzan is friends with  Ted Kaczynski , also known as the Unabomber terrorist, and the Sandy Hook mass murderer of young children Adam Lanza was a fan of Zerzan's show too.

You know, we do have something called the First Amendment here in our country.
