I find it hilarious that condescending pricks cannot see a publicity scam when it evidences itself.

Ignorant as usual, they’re cheering on the fact that all the narratives and arguments they made were wrong.

No word if Nexstar and Sinclair will be carrying his show.


This will be the only thing that actually determines if he's back on air.

Laughing at your own stupidity for believing Disney was intimidated by the Trump admin into firing Jimmy Kimmel?

FCC making veiled threats is not a good look.


True. Good thing the FCC took no action here.

I was assured by many that Disney was using this to get out of a contract they didn't like

Guess they liked the contract after all.

The people who want others silenced for spreading misinformation wasn't too happy about someone being silenced for spreading misinformation...

I think so.

But he has 20 million youtube subscribers to Colberts 10 million.

Nobody watches these shows, but some people do watch clips on YouTube.

I suppose an apology at the beginning of his show


Do you really think that’s going to happen? He will make some looney, liberal statement to bow to his overlords. When are we all going to finally realize that the woke mind virus has no cure. These people don’t evolve, they manifest.

They were stupid to cave to Trump in the first place. Trump/MAGA already hated them now they just lost a bunch of subscribers on the other side and in the middle.

Also the most offensive part of the clip was really Trump’s response when asked how he’s doing after the Kirk shooting he said “I’m doing great they’re working on my ballroom”

The Nexstar merger has nothing to do with Disney. It's a merger of two broadcasting conglomerates that are licensed to broadcast Disney. Nexstar needs FCC approval to acquire those licenses, and they have already grandstanded the required fealty.

Hmmm...I wouldn't be so sure this won't result in a change to his contract.

Nexstar isn't known as a very liberal organization. None of their actions are shocking in the least.

Sinclair has already stated they still will not carry Kimmel until he issues a direct apology to the Kirk family. We'll see what Nexstar does, but their original statement was pretty clear.

I have no prediction regarding the what he will do. It’s just discussion.
