Nexstar said in a statement. “As a local broadcaster, Nexstar remains committed to protecting the First Amendment while producing and airing local and national news that is fact-based and unbiased and, above all, broadcasting content that is in the best interest of the communities we serve. We stand apart from cable television, monolithic streaming services, and national networks in our commitment — and obligation — to be stewards of the public airwaves and to protect and reflect the specific sensibilities of our communities.”

quote:

TV station group Nexstar said it will resume airing “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” on its 32 ABC affiliates starting Friday night after it had preempted the show over the late-night host’s comments about Charlie Kirk’s killer. Earlier Friday, Sinclair said it was bringing Kimmel back to its 38 ABC stations, also reversing its previous position.

Nothing they say means anything unless there's been contrition on Kimmel's part.

There has been none.

So, which left-wing financial institution got to them?

Their attorneys showed them the contracts they were breaching that stated that ABC could pull their affiliation and sell it to competitor groups in those markets.

It wasn't "a bit". It was him lying, And how retarded are you? He was ALREADY pulled off air. Stop acting like that didn't happen by his own god damn employer.

Disney possibly threatening to pull their content after they saw their loss in subscribers and getting blamed for something that was beyond their control.

It's almost like they didn't really care at all about whether Kimmel apologized.

It was a bit calling out people jumping the gun. You just don't like when it's your side being the villains here so you try your best to pretend that's not what happened.

FCC chairman threatens their licenses and they pull Kimmel hours later. The dots are pretty damn easy to connect. But go on and continue to plant your head firmly into the sand and ignore Trump trying use his leverage and office to go after people he hates. You can act like that's not what's happening but the idiot is posting on his truth social for the world to see

"It wasn't a joke it was a lie."

"This has nothing to do with Trump."

"He wasn't fired because of any FCC threat, it was because of his ratings."

"Disney has been looking for any reason to fire him."

Your side murders people for things said they don't agree with, MY side acknowledges that lying and low ratings are perfectly reasonable for shows being cancelled.

We are not the same.

Literally what happened to your side. I'm very proud of MY side, for not doing what your lunatics have done.

Keep trying to justify Kimmel's lie. He was duly removed from the air, not by gov, but by his own employer.

That's a fact, and I don't care how much you hate hearing it.

Are you that fricking obtuse or are you purposely ignoring what the FCC chairman said or literally anything Trump has said in regards to the media.
