IIRC it's Nexstar, that wants the illegal merger requiring FCC approval, so they are probably looking for more guidance from Brendan Carr, on what they should do next to curry favor.

I was looking at my local ABC Sinclair owned stations' website. The goal was to email every non-white male employee a question asking how it felt to work for a company that supports a raging racist and misogynic individual to the point of denying free speech of those that supports and agrees with a misogynic racist.

What I found:
The site no longer provides contact information for individuals, typically all the news on air people. (They used to, and I still have a few of their emails in my email)

They do list all the on air news and weather staff. There are 26 in total, and of the 26 a total of 18 (or 69%) are non-white males.

Footnote: I never watch this station or any other "broadcast" outlet since I cut the cord 5+ years ago. I get my Kimmel, Colbert, Seth Myers, etc., on the internet.

So Kimmel's viewership will go down by zero.. as I am pretty sure you have your limp dick stuck so far in the right's propaganda machine, you couldn't pull yourself away if you wanted to.

Help me understand MAGA logic, I was replying to someone who was on a video talking about Trump saying he's gonna sue ABC for putting Kimmel back on the air. They claimed it's an open and shut case and I should "cry harder, this is what we voted for" because Kimmel will be off the air for good this time.

I know Trump said he's suing ABC over this, but how the fuck is it an open and shut case he will easily win? I'm having a hard time thinking anything but it'll get laughed out of court before it even makes it to trial. I'm trying to figure out how he even has a case here, and these MAGAs are acting like Kimmel should start packing his shit now because it's over for him. And I'm taking into consideration Trump has all sorts of judges in his pocket who will do whatever the fuck he says, but I still don't see how there's any possibility for him here. I'd love for it to go to trial and for the trial to be televised. Trump might be the biggest Snowflake ever, I'd love to see him lose this case on camera.

The only thing that Trump's MAGA mob is pissed about is that Trump didn't get his wish to shut down every source of criticism that makes him look bad no matter how factual those barbs are. Facts don't matter to his base because Trump is a habitual liar and having those lies being debunked moments after Trump lets loose with them is tiring and frustrating to them, especially when those lies of his are meant to feed their insatiable appetites for hate, racism and white supremacy. So they simply ignore the facts that easily disproves Trump lies and turn those lies of his into armor plating to shield themselves from the realities of life that keeps knocking on their doors.

You guys have to recall that "the right" is not operating on a template of logic and reason.
You cannot argue with them on these merits.

Its feels. And what they're feeling they're feeling as a collective. Almost like a hive mind, and with hive minds there is always a command and control unit somewhere.

So anyway, engaging with felix or geek or green you have to speak feels or its just not going to connect.

Maybe we need a Turing Machine 2.0 to properly decode these messages.

The kIngdom that killed Khashogii, dismembered him, and put his remains in a suitcase is staging a COMEDY festival:

Today’s generation of comedians prefer to use their hard-won liberties not as a weapon against the powerful, but as a license to operate free of any ethical obligations whatsoever. For these comedians, “freedom of speech” means the freedom to say anything you want, including to be cruel to racial minorities, women, trans people and immigrants; to associate with conspiracy theoristsand lend their platforms to politicians set on undermining democracy.
