But only four stations in the top 50 markets: Nashville, Salt Lake City, Hartford and New Orleans. They have six ABC affiliates in markets 51-100 and 18 in markets below #100.
Is this like an extended version of “TACO” (Trump always chickens out)?
Sinclair and Nexstar may have been more sensitive than Disney about staying on the Orange Peril’s “good” side. And I sense a hint of “applause for Stalin”: neither one wanted to be the first to stop clapping, but they figured the Comey distraction gave them enough cover that they could avoid being ketchup stains on the Oval Office wall.
And next week it’ll be the shutdown.
Given Disney’s disputes with Ron DeSantis, they shouldn’t be sensitive to Trump at all.
They’re playing Kimmel on my local ABC station tonight. The comeback episode.
Yeah, I wrote dozens of emails. I feel powerful. Go, Me!!
(I don’t really think I did anything…but I did try)
That wasn’t really about defamation. It was about money laundering an extortion payment. It was a convient way to get Trump a $16 million bribe in exchange for not fucking over their merger with Paramount. Other meritless lawsuits are likely to be similarly filed and settled.
Disney shareholders are demanding answers about the company’s decision to suspend late night host Jimmy Kimmel.
The group, which includes the American Federation of Teachers and Reporters Without Borders, Inc., have penned a letter to Disney requesting that the media giant turn over any books and records related to the move, arguing the abrupt decision led to “significant declines” in the company’s stock.
Report that Disney+ saw 1.7 million cancellations in the week following taking Kimmel off the air. That is 436% of their regular churn.
(Kabas is an independent journalist running The Handbasket, so not just some rando, but someone with connections and experience in this type of reporting.)
RE: Kimmel in Brooklyn
For a place called Brooklyn Music Academy, that place has horrible acoustics (at least over the TV). But the shows have been funny as hell and the special guests showing up unannounced is pretty cool. Glad he’s back to full coverage. You know it pisses somebody off!
And they don’t even teach music!
It would be nice to see Kimmel mention (or perhaps gloat about) this poll. It would keep the Orange Bastard from a good night’s sleep.
You know Kimmel will do the gloating.
I applaud him if he does.
Oh, he’s on it: https://youtu.be/DmyWJAs29RU?si=zM6AjlwC-DGmvb-I
Charlie Kirk? There’s a name you don’t hear much nowadays
Kimmel: “At this point ‘finding a toenail in your salad’ has a seven point lead over Trump.”
