BREAKING: Sinclair-owned ABC stations will preempt Jimmy Kimmel Live this Friday to air a special tribute to Charlie Kir

Well, I certainly will NOT be watching this.
What an insult--to broadcast a Charlie Kirk tribute in place of Kimmel.

shoveling this not so nice person down our throats is not going to work.

Our main concern is survival and dealing total terrorism by corporate media and the current corrupt government run by the GQP.

See you at the polls.

I live in Oregon we have them, they are very conservative and always run the "Is portland safe type stories "

No surprise on this at all.
