What side was the cancel culture again?
- every accusation is a confession.
- It has always been the right side of things. Remember that Republicans and their prude groups like Focus on the Family has been around trying to cancel the Simpsons since the 90's.
Corporate consolidation of media outlets leads to this nonsense.
From Nextar's website:
"Nexstar owns America’s largest local television broadcasting group comprised of top network affiliates, with more than 200 owned or partner stations in 116 U.S. markets reaching 220 million people."
I guess I'll be dropping Nexstar for the foreseeable future. really won't mean I have to change anything, tho'.
- i just dropped youtube tv for sports earlier this year. was fed up with part of that money going to the likes of fox news, and sports aren’t even an escape now anyway.
"Kimmel said on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Monday, “We had some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and with everything they can to score political points from it.”"
That's all, that's all he said according to the article
- Is that it??? If he made awful jokes about his children, I might see it differently but that jokes nothing at all
  
  Yeah this is a huge fuck up by the network. Interested to see what happens
- We're going to have to let you go, workerONE. You can't say that.
- At which point do people let go of the whole MAGA/Trump moniker and just say "Republicans"?
The part where Nexstar has a pending merger needing FCC approval is the real kicker here. There isn't a single part of the US that isn't for sale.
Anyone living in a Nexstar served area knows what way they lean based on the news broadcasts they put on. Now they are trying to curry favor with the President and his administration because they need a rubber stamp on buying TEGNA's stations for 6.2 Billion. Which is awful similar to the CBS and Colbert firing, Conservative friend of Trump wanted to merge with Paramount and gets the guy Donald doesn't like fired, boom merger approved, I assume that will also happen with Nexstar-TEGNA now too.
Also, if you watch anything on The CW, obtain it some other way, fuck Nexstar and their ratings/ad buys.
