Sinclair ends its Jimmy Kimmel boycott

They didn't do themselves any favors. A lot of people weren't aware of Sinclair (and the others) until this happened. I would hope people will pay more attention to them now.

Agreed. They're almost if not more of a problem than Fox "News."

I'd say maybe more. Faux's bullshit is out there for all to see. Sinclair (and the others) have operated pretty much in the shadow, except for that one time Sinclair had their stations say the same thing at the same time.

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.

Doesn't matter as I have other options for watching everything that Sinclair and Nexstar have. I will never watch either of these two choices again.
Before all of this happened I and many others had no idea who they were. They were better off that way. Now I know that they sometimes force the news stations that they control to run mandatory right wing stuff sometimes. Now my lifetime boycott of them is not just about Kimmel anyway.
 
It is all good, after a short period his "fad spike" will end, and the show will go back into the shadows from whence it came.
And next April it will end as Kimmel said himself he plans on retiring from the show.

All about the money as we now know Sinclair had to abide by the contract agreement or risk losing money. The true arbiter of character, morals and integrity these days. Nice try on the extortion.

It should have never happened in the first place. Trump and company tried to use their political power to silence a critical COMEDIAN. I can't believe you're brushing this off with a joke.

So what you're saying that this was just good ol' fashioned crony capitalism and not about fascists taking over and getting rid of free speech forever?
