Couldn’t happen to a bigger douche.
Wow. His comments weren't even that horribly subversive. Overreaction?
If I’m being pedantic, he didn’t say it was a right winger who did this. He said right wingers were frantically trying to convince themselves that it was a left winger who did this.
Which is true.
Even if it turned out to be true.
That said, it was Nexstar that originally said they weren’t going to air Kimmel anymore. I’m guessing ABC figured they wouldn’t be the only ones so they acted.

That's not being pedantic. It's being correct. He didn't say what he's accused of saying.
I've asked this question many, many times, but have never gotten an adequate answer: If liberals are just so goddamn awful, why can't conservatives attack us without lying about what we say? It shouldn't be that hard to just be honest, if we're really that bad.
Hate speech does not exist legally in America. There's ugly speech. There's gross speech. There's evil speech. And ALL of it is protected by the First Amendment. Keep America free.

Nexstar needs approval for a merger they're working on, and the FCC chairman said that stations that air content that they disapprove of could be subject to sanctions.
