    He didn’t apologize at all, in a middle finger to Sinclair broadcasting who said that was a condition for him going back on their air.

      I just watched it, no capacity to do so at work. It was good. And he slammed Carr.

      What kills me is they’re totally getting away with doing the same to Colbert simply because they weren’t so brazen about it. The fevered aggression of a cause was there to try to drive it.

      Next headline will probably be Carr being fired.

        Agreed completely, it’s absolute horseshit what they’re doing, but at least Kimmel got put back on in a show of defiance somewhat.

        They never should have folded like that in the first place to the chairman of the FCC, but this is our new authoritarian reality.

          Side distraction of minor, short lived amusement: Trump lost his mind, or what’s left of it, over this news.
