6. and we are at the mercy of Nexstar

...AFAIK, Nexstar has not yet issued a comment about airing Kimmel or not. Nexstar owns the ABC and CBS affiliate down here in south Texas. Sent the ABC affiliate, KVEO, a letter a few days ago. No response, yet. Judging from KVEO's occasional editorials and the general tenor of their newscasts, I don't think Nexstar is nearly as full of Nazi's as Sinclair is.

It makes me angry that your company was involved in the suspension of comedian Jimmy Kimmel from ABC. Remember free speech? Comedians have been making fun of presidents forever, only our current president has skin as thin as plastic wrap and cannot tolerate any criticism.

What ABC/Disney and your company did to Kimmel was a gross overreaction. Go back and read what Kimmel said. That is NO reason to suspend the show.

Grow a spine. Care a little more about free speech than trying to please an implacable narcissist sitting in the White House.

Is your bottom line, or kissing Trump's ass, more important than freedom in this country?
