Maryland Gov. Wes Moore has ads running for his re-election all over the place — but not on Sinclair-owned TV stations, Baltimore’s Fox45 and WJLA in DC. The chairman of Sinclair, David Smith, is suing Moore for defamation. @LeeOSanderlin explains: thebanner.com/politics-power…

Moore campaign ads shut out Sinclair stations amid feud with David Smith
