Nexstar stations will no longer air Jimmy Kimmel because of "insensitive" comments about Charlie Kirk.

One of the biggest owners of TV stations in the U.S., Nexstar Media, said it would pre-empt airings of ABCs Jimmy Kimmel Live over remarks the host made about the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

Nexstar said Wednesday that its owned and partner television stations affiliated with the ABC Television Network will preempt Jimmy Kimmel Live! for the foreseeable future, beginning with tonights show. The company said it strongly objects to recent comments made by Mr. Kimmel concerning the killing of Charlie Kirk and will replace the show with other programming in its ABC-affiliated markets.

Man, must have been some really hateful comments that kimmel said to get him into this kind of trouble

*Kimmel shows a video of Trump not giving 2 shits about Kirk's death*
Kimmel: That's not how you mourn a friend. That's how a 4 year old reacts after losing a goldfish

If it's the comment about Trump seeming as sad about his death as a kid about a goldfish, that's a dig on Trump, not Kirk.

Oh, and would you look at that, Nexstar is looking to buy out Tegna. I'm sure that's just a coincidence. Just like the CBS/Paramount one

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/6/6b923b36.png

The merger will put to the test the Trump administrations stated ambition to abolish those long-standing rules. Opponents argue that those limits were set by Congress, and that only Congress can change them.
Either way, Nexstar is clearly banking on the Trump administration to pave the way for the deal to go through.

Everything is dooming until it happens.

And yeah like the other user said John Oliver is definitely next on hit list. But he usually takes a vacation this time of year.
