Jimmy Kimmel is NOT coming back to our "Sinclair" broadcast area here in Madison Wisconsin [View all]

Apparently they think running “alternate” programming is a better idea than allowing people to access what they really want.

Not sure if this is just a petty reflex and knee bending sop to the orange anus or what.

So today we cancel Disney and will be selecting businesses to boycott.

Have liked watching David Muir but that is going too.
