Sinclair Broadcast Group, which owns more ABC stations than any other TV conglomerate including Nexstar, announced it would run a tribute to Kirk during Kimmel’s timeslot on Friday.
Cowards
- Not cowards, nazis. Goose-stepping, sieg heiling, fuhrer-worshipping, antisemitic, genocidal, racist, fascist, subhuman nazis.
  
  So uh. How can they be both antisemittic and support Israel like they do at the same time? Not trying to troll, I honestly feel there is a contradiction there.
- They aren’t spineless victims, these are the people pulling the strings.
- I hope Jimmy just releases his same monologues, but from his house like he did during the COVID lockdown.
  
  Would be great if all current late night hosts just started some other creative endeavour together. Network TV is dying anyway, these guys got more views on YouTube than their actual shows.
- Not cowards. One of the groups that has to go when these nazis are destroyed.
- Don't forget the quislings.
Yupp, that's Gleichschaltung for you.
- BuT tHeY'Re NoT nAzIs BeCaUsE tHeRe ArE nO oVeNs YeT!
  
  Offshoring is all the rage now.
- Complete with a tribute to their Horst Wessel.
following complaints about host’s comments on the killing of rightwing activist Kirk
is definitely misleading when
Before ABC pulled Kimmel, the Federal Communications Commission chair, Brendan Carr, had urged local broadcasters to stop airing the show, saying they were “running the possibility of fines or licensed revocation from the FCC” during an appearance on the rightwing commentator Benny Johnson’s podcast.
Or how Senator Markey put it:
"FCC chair threatens ABC and Disney over Kimmel’s comments. Hours later, he’s off air. It’s dangerous and unconstitutional. The message to every media company is clear: Adopt the MAGA line or the Federal Censorship Commission will come after you.”
He would still have a job if he simply kept the temperature down and joked about killing homeless people instead. When will these hateful libs learn?
Cancel Disney+, Hulu, ESPN and your live streaming TV/cable sub if you have one.

- did that decades ago
Trump always had it in for Kimmel. The fact that the government now decides what comedians can say should worry everyone, left or right.
Also, Trump is a child rapist and this does not distract us from that fact.
The revolution is not going to be televised.
- It will be no rerun brutthas...
It keeps getting wooorse 🎵
I don't follow the manosphere but where are we on free speech for comedians now? anyone who listens to those chuds know?
- "Don't say things that jeprodize our merger by pissing off the current government/political part of FCC"
- Is this a reference to The Man Show?
I can show my opposition by simply boycotting programming from ABC and CBS. See how simple that is!? Free speech does not pick sides. I've learned to accept the "good" and the "bad". This Trump administration is suppressing what DID make America Great - no more! 😔
I nearly downvoted this reflexively. Wow
