InterMedia employees believe that Hindery... is in the process of consolidating all of America’s leading gun-culture media outlets and stripping them down to virtual destruction.
“There’s nothing there but one intern slash production assistant and one administrative type. All the production people are gone. It’s a shell,” according to the employee.
“Now that Hindery has the Outdoor Channel, he’s in a position to consolidate all of the major pro-Second Amendment media titles in this country, strip them down, and destroy them, like venture capitalists do sometimes,” the employee said.
I hope that this is just a case of some venture capitalists restructuring failing media outlets. However, given Mr. Hindrey's political connections and the administration's current gun policy positions, I wouldn't be surprised if there was a political motivation with these acquisitions. Then again, they haven't shuttered any of their current holdings...yet. I'll stay optimistic for now and assume they are just capitalists trying to make money with these properties.
