Here are the #ABC affiliates in New England who aired Jimmy Kimmel and the two that did not: WLNE (RI) Aired JK WCVB (MA/NH) Aired JK WMTN (Portland, ME) Aired JK WVII (Bangor, ME) Aired JK WTNH (CT) Did not air JK WVNY (VT) Did not air JK Thanks to those which did! Shame on Nextar that did not.
My friend in D.C. just texted me (Iโm in AZ) that they didnโt air Jimmy Kimmel there. Sinclair๐คฌ She said they are airing a show called National News Desk and they were covering Turning Point. She said they just showed a commercial to join ICE. FVCKING DICTATORS! Please share.
Jimmy Kimmel: This show is not important, what's important is that we live in a country that lets us get to have a show like this. That's something I didn't appreciate until they tried to take my friend Stephen Colbert off the air.
good job chat we successfully bullied a major corporation to the point that the late night host they canned is making jokes about it in his return monologue american fascism versus the cancel subscription button: who will win

Jimmy Kimmelโs suspension wasnโt โcancel culture.โ It was government coercion. Brendan Carr told Benny Johnson, โwe can do this the easy way or the hard way,โ and affiliates panicked. Regulatory threats canโt be the answer to speech we donโt like. If we let this stand, no voice is safe.
