I never watch these guys.
All I saw was the Kimmel remark because of all the hoopla coming out of the Oval Office.
Freedom of opinion is now in danger because the guy in the White House hates freedom of opinion.

The problem was Kimmel was saying something as truth that was a big lie.
I think the FCC should have stressed that was the reason they got upset.

Amen! Kimmel did tell a politically motivated big lie and Television networks do have ratings and stocks to worry about. This was not a freedom of speech issue. This was a marketing issue. Folks on the left who suffer from TDS will blame Trump regardless.

There are two affiliates that also air Kimmel's TV show. One affiliate, Sinclair, says they will not air Kimmel's show...but will show news programs instead.

The other affiliate hadn't responded yet as to what they will do.

The last I heard about Nexstar was its continuing its discussions with ABC regarding the show's potential return to its affiliates.

This Kimmel thing has only demonstrated that Donald Trump's followers care more about the dear leader than they do about the Constitution. Now you can start hurling TDS insults. Sorry to disappoint you, but I'm against anyone who thinks they're above the law or the Constitution, not just Trump.

Television networks do have ratings and stocks to worry about. That was not a Trump led violation of Jimmy Kimmel's 1st amendment rights issue. That was a marketing issue. Don't worry. The left will cry and complain until they get their way, even if it takes firing gunshots into an ABC affiliate station in Sacramento California. There is no cure for TDS.


Now as a mailman, I have freedom of speech but if I use discriminatory language towards my customers or sexually harass the ladies, I will end up being suspended and if I keep it up I will get fired! Now I could cry about it and try to sue the Post Office for violating my 1st amendment rights (good luck with that!). Now although we have 1st amendment rights in America, words do have consequences!

It's airing in our market tonight. I'm going to tune in and see what he says in his opening monologue.

Thankfully Sinclair and Nextstar won't carry Kimmel still.

Kimmel told a lie as a fact.... that's the problem. And why couldn't he give some condolences about the assassination.... it's because the far left hates conservatives.

Oh for crying out loud, there's the hate card again. Same as TDS.

Boring!
I said why didn't Kimmel give some condolences? That's a reasonable question. The only reason seems to be is because Charlie Kirk was a conservative.

Jimmy Kimmel makes an emotional return to ABC : NPR https://share.google/vcxwxWwlHHKvHt30W

I'm not sure who had a weirder 48 hours — me, or the CEO of Tylenol," Jimmy Kimmel joked as he opened his show Tuesday night to a standing ovation after nearly a week away.

He's not sorry and there is no cure for TDS.
