Burger King says (to Sinclair): Hold everything This just in from the presidential election's front lines: —Burger King, lobbed the biggest grenade at Sinclair. The fast-food giant announced that it was withdrawing all its ads from all Sinclair stations all day on the date the weapon is broadcast—now scheduled for Friday, October 22. "Burger King wants to maintain neutrality during this election," spokesman Eric Anderson told Bill Carter of The New York Times. This is believed to be the first time the fast-food giant has come out publicly against whoppers. Hevesi, who by himself controls the huge New York State Common Retirement Fund, which owns more than 250,000 shares of Sinclair, wrote a nasty letter to company CEO David D.
