ABC/Sinclair/NextStar have a right to fire someone who is not meeting their standards of employment - have no issue with that.
The issue is - Trump has both on video and social media talked about "Kimmel is next". Long before the Kirk assasination.
Then the FCC chair says we can "do it the easy way, or the hard way".
We also know NextStar is trying to acquire other stations and needs FCC approavl (much like the CBS/Paramount/Skydance/Colbert fiasco).
Kimmel fired.
If the government is putting their finger on the scale, that's wrong. And dangerous.
When this term is up.
When this term is up? This is how bad it is.
When there's talk of Trump running for a third term, NO ONE in the Republican Party shuts it down.
Think about that? Whatever you think of Trump, what in the name of God brings up to the point where he gets to run for a third term?
The infactuation with this guy will go down in history as one of the great mysteries.
