>>Remember Watergate and the Nixon insider who was preparing to challenge CBS' O&O licenses...<<
 
Charles Colson...described as a man who would run over his grandmother in the service of Nixon.
 
>>...in order to prevent Cronkite from reporting what had already been published in the "free press" (the Washington Post).<<
 
...and succeeding, in part.  IIRC Bill Paley ordered the three-part Watergate special on Cronkite's evening news cut back to two parts, with the second part severely watered down.
 
Remember too that the Washington Post, which owned television stations, was also threatened by the Nixon White House.  Something like "they are going to have a damnable time getting them renewed" showed up in the Nixon tapes.
