3. Gawd damn right.....FAWK ABC.

Fawk fawk, fawk, fawk, fawk.

[iemanja]

4. I never watch ABC

So nothing will change there.

[Mossfern]

5. This is so f'ing obvious

How can people not see it?
Are there no people out there with critical thinking skills?

Goddam brainwashing and gaslighting and the lemmings are just eating it up.
Rod Serling had nothing like this - he's been bested in strange horror.

[Jack Valentino]

6. Oh, that will be EVEN FUNNIER than Jimmy Kimmel !!!!!!

Especially the drop in the ratings......

[UTUSN]

7. Alternating with Steve HARVEY?

[WiVoter]

8. Their Desperation Is Growing .... What Might That Mean?

They know and are probably certain they will lose the House and the Senate in the midterms. They're desperate in direct proportion to their fear.

[iemanja]

9. I think they are taking advantage of Kirk's death

to expand their authoritarian project.

[RockRaven]

10. Note for the unaware: Sinclair is a company which owns many local stations

all over the country, and they insert RW bullshit into local news coverage and, as seen here, their programming choices.

In some media markets they own multiple local channels. Your local ABC, NBC, CBS, and/or FOX channel may be owned by Sinclair.

12. Orwellian Twilight Zone Barking Mad Insanity!!

[D. Spaulding]

13. They're trying very hard to completely take over or neutralize the media folks.

this is bad.

[kimbutgar]

14. I hope it's the lowest rating ever of viewership!

[JI7]

15. Will they show the things he actually said ?

[LoisB]

17. My question too. I am sure there will be a lot of creative editing so he sounds as if he is the

second coming or at least the most gentle, gracious, and revered person on earth.

[Cha]

25. My guess is a big fat NO.

Or edit and splice to show a "benign" ck.

[MorbidButterflyTat]

16. What incredible bullshit

"Sinclair also call 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."

Blatant extortion and attempt to humiliate him. I bet they all giggled hysterically writing that. Never mind a ridiculous "tribute" to a filthy piece of racist shit during Kimmel's timeslot.

Dirty fuckers.

[oasis]

22. I gotcha "donation" right here Sinclair!

🖕🏼

[Cha]

26. OMG!! FU Sinclair Fascist Nazi Fucks!

[diane in sf]

33. Kimmel should donate to the Freedom from Religion Foundation in Kirk's name.

[Figarosmom]

18. Well asking for money us out and out blackmail

So where are the DAs charging them with extortion?

I hope the viewership for their one hour show is dismal.

[SunSeeker]

19. Fuck you, Sinclair. I'm glad KTLA, Los Angeles' local TV station, is not a Sinclair station! nt

[rubbersole]

20. The straws are piling up on the camel's back.

Pam Bondi is the arbiter of what speech is "hate" speech. Kash Patel doesn't qualify as a school crossing guard. tsf can't handle criticism of any kind and the public display of his contempt for press questions that aren't from MTG's boyfriend are embarrassing insights into his mental disintegration. The billionaires want it all and aren't trying to hide any of it. As my great grandpappy used to say - "Shit has hit the fan."

[KPN]

21. Breakup the broadcast media giants.

[mainer]

23. The governor of Utah said the same thing as Jimmy

In the immediate aftermath of the arrest, the governor said how awful it was that the killer was “one of us.” At that point it was all anyone knew, that the kid came from a MAGA family. It’s also what Kimmel said, that the killer appeared to be one of them. How is that a firing offense?

24. State sponsored TV, after the Kirk tribute they can have Baghdad Bob on every night

Instead of Kimmel, every night at 1135pm you will get something like this ....

"The beautiful Trump tariffs have lowered prices on everything by over 1000% !!!"

[MrWowWow]

27. During the Tribute, Run This Clip!

That'll be so meaningful to viewers.

[Norbert]

28. Many times I can't stay awake to watch Kimmel or Colbert 1/2 the time

I am up early for work is the reason.

What in God's world would motivate me to watch this? (I hope this isn't considered hate speech).

[maxrandb]

29. I, for one, am glad these corporate media fucksticks are taking off the mask and going full nazi

It will make it much easier for the next Dem President and their appointed FCC Chair, to fucking destroy Hate Radio, Faux News, and all the cookie-cutter Retrumplican ball licker media.

Stand-by Eloon, Bozos and Fuckerberg too.

Goose/Gander and all that shit.

[RoeVWade]

30. Conservative tried to tell me it was Kimmel's viewers who complained. Like that's his viewership? LIES.

31. Cancel all your Disney, ABC, Hulu, ESPN, Paramount, Lifetime and History channels.

Do it today.

32. They saw how the twitter 'boycott' worked out

and knew they had nothing to worry about.

[Sogo]

34. Well, I sure as hell won't be watching it.

The opposite of love is indifference.

Just IGNORE 'em. You know how much TSF would hate that....

[charliea]

35. I watched that episode, laughed a lot.

Our ABC affiliate is a Sinclair property.

That's why Jimmy is one of the few things we've ever watched on it. Now I'm hoping he'll continue production with streaming options.

Now we will be suspending/terminating Disney+

Brendan Carr is a hypocritical weasel.
