Sinclair caved:
You can tell they didn’t get anything they wanted because their statement betrays it.
Damn if Jimmy is killing their bottom line, why would they be doing this?
The “he sucks and has no viewers and that’s why they suspended him” line did not age well AT all.
since the stations are ABC affiliates they are contractually obligated to air Jimmy Kimmel with only a limited number of preemptions. Either their preeption limit was two episodes, or they know they could face a lawsuit and lose their station affiliations leaving them with 22 independent stations with no primetime programming.
Neither did the “Trump’s FCC is limiting speech”
narrative.
As a sidebar.
I never thought he was suspended because of the FCC nor viewership.
I’ve always believed he was suspended because what he said was in extremely poor taste and showed extremely poor judgment of the entire show.
The kid who murdered kirk is Maga. Big fat lie.
It’s not a lie if he doesn’t believe it’s a lie. Remember?
Whatever makes you feel better about your liars.
folded like a cheap tent as predicted.

Yeah I did…I got tired of reading the same thing over and over again…
I saw a bunch of new posts this morning, got curious if there was some new information…and saw nothing other than the same posts I’d seen however many days ago.
I shouldn’t have said anything but this thread going twice as long as Kimmel’s paid vacation just seemed weird to me.
Anyway nothing has changed…other than he’s back, and y’all are still trying to make it seem like Trump told the fcc to fire him so you can call Trump an authoritarian.
Have a nice weekend.
And? We were able talking about lies … was that a lie?
Exactly. A strongly worded memo clarifying what is not acceptable content on Network airtime, not a reprimand.
Are you done?
Thank you. You being the expert on making stupid posts, I take that as quite the complement.
Funny that you cherry picked 3 words to change the context.
“MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them”
Exhibit A - 4,000+ posts of MAGA doing exactly that.
Oooh wow yeah you caught me.
I quoted an article
and the article mentioned “an older male” was the 1st tuspect.
Why did we do that?
"desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them”
After all no MAGAs are older amles. Most of us are yougn girls in our teens. (rolleyes)
It wasn’t directed at you Gaius. That was a link to the thread in general and the direction it took.
Just stop. No amount of flooding with the rest of his spiel will change the fact that he lied when implying that the shooter was a MAGA.
sorry if old news by now but looks like sinclair, nexstar has him back on air at least in some areas
such a fascist fcc we have huh guys?
Kimmel lied…he got his ass in hot water with Disney and the networks affiliates…he was asked to apologize…didn’t, and still hasn’t z. The reporting was he actually planned to double down on stupid.
He got what amounted to a 1 week suspension.
He’s now back in the air.
That crashing and burning sound you heard was another stupid leftist narrative imploding.
What Carr said can’t be pretended away, I don’t even feel compelled to argue, it’s all right there.
That’s obviously a reprimand, AKA a punishment.
I guess not.
That is not a reprimand. It’s a clarification of the rules.
