I want to thank Nexstar for doing the right thing. ︀︀ ︀︀Local broadcasters have an obligation to serve the public interest. While this may be an unprecedented decision, it is important for broadcasters to push back on Disney programming that they determine falls short of community values. ︀︀ ︀︀I hope that other broadcasters follow Nexstar’s lead. Quoting Benny Johnson (@bennyjohnson ︀ BREAKING NEWS: Official ABC broadcast affiliate Nexstar is REMOVING Jimmy Kimmel from all 32 of their ABC stations until Disney answers for Kimmel’s despicable attack on Charlie Kirk. ︀︀ ︀︀Great job [@NXSTMediaGroup.](https://x.com/NXSTMediaGroup.) Thank you for standing up for Charlie ︀︀ ︀︀HERE: www.nexstar.tv/nexstar-abc-affiliates-to-preempt-jimmy-kimmel-live-indefinitely-beginning-tonight/ 💬 7.8K 🔁 4.1K ❤️ 25.6K 👁️ 5.61M

there was this but its not really calling for anything to happen
Jimmy ‘Blackface’ Kimmel’s apparently outrageous conduct is the problem here, not the calling of it out. 💬 2.3K 🔁 758 ❤️ 5.1K 👁️ 770.3K
Its CNN, but apparently he made a comment on a podcast or something
I have no idea what fucking podcast it was though
Yeah, I agree they are shitposting about it
but I am still pretty sure the timeline is "FCC guy said something" "Disney paniced and fired him"
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The FCC guy had involvement
the FCC formally did not
I don't care about the law
I still think its cringe
Replying to Phijkchu_Pikachu #klombak but I am still pretty sure the timeline is "FCC guy said something" "Disney paniced and fired him" (edited)
there was an official statement that said he was fired because he was going to double down and I think it was before the FCC applied pressure
I see
either way, whatever, he should have been allowed to do it
you have to let cringe late night hosts do their thing so you can get skibity biden

“Sinclair will not lift the suspension of "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" on our stations until formal discussions are held with ABC regarding the network's commitment to professionalism and accountability. Sinclair also calls upon Mr. Kimmel to issue a direct apology to the Kirk family. Furthermore, we ask Mr. Kimmel to make a meaningful personal donation to the Kirk Family and Turning Point USA. Regardless of ABC's plans for the future of the program, Sinclair intends not to return "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" to our air until we are confident that appropriate steps have been taken to uphold the standards expected of a national broadcast platform.” Sinclair, Inc. (Nasdaq: SBGI) is a diversified media company and a leading provider of local news
I think the non insane ask is a retraction of specific claims. You can't reasonably demand someone donate money
He should have to get shot in the neck publically by a random skitzo
I agree with the extortion part being idiodic
if you're going to play the moral outrage card
you can't turn around and say you can pay to be forgiven
I'm not sure how you could even fix OTA and cable TV
there are so many rules that are holdovers from 100+ years ago
it's that weird mix of private and public that makes it untenable to regulate
we really are lucky the internet was too distributed to centrally regulate or to be fully controlled by a couple corporations
there are a couple weak points, but compared to TV it's night and day
maybe im just getting old or no fun, but the people making the "ahaha tylenol causes autism? catch me being autistic because im chugging that stuff for disability xD" and similar jokes about physically taking it causing autism bad make me cringe so much
i do think its stupid and probably not 100% correlative
but i think its stupider to not acknowledge its about pregnancy for shitty memes and jokes about tylenol, especially when its ermmm trump stupid i take it evury day?? XD stuff
it just makes me assume the lowest common denominator only reads headlines- or you think your joke is so DAMN funny that you have to repeat the same joke EVERYONE else is making when it doesnt even have a lick of truth to it

Most people are inherently unfunny so that tracks
I like how he talks about a "ninja sword" as though it's a given without elaboration that it's an inherently dangerous and criminal object
if you get killed by a mezzaluna
an Italian REALLY hated you
