Sinclair Broadcasting Censoring / Preempting Jimmy Kimmel
Hours after Disney announced the return of Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show, Sinclair Broadcasting Group said it would preempt the program.
According to the above article published in 2016, Chairman of Sinclair Broadcasting Group, David D Smith told Trump’s campaign in 2016: ‘We are here to deliver your message’. David D. Smith is reported to be a prominent donor to Republican causes and Trump supporter.
Sinclair has a history of behaving like a Right Wing Propaganda outlet by forcing “Must-Run” Pro-Trump, Propaganda down Americans throats through the hundreds of TV Stations they own using their local news outlets. It appears they have a Pro-Republican Right Wing agenda to brainwash Americans into voting for Republicans by casting them & Trump in a favorable light while disparaging Democrats, the very party which has always fought for working class Americans.
Republicans have consistently proven they don’t give a damn about the working class, most recently cutting 800 billion from healthcare programs which will cause an estimated 17 million people to lose their healthcare and cause hundreds of hospitals to close. And adding trillions more to the national debt to pay for tax cuts for the $RICH$.
These are the Sinclair and Nexstar-owned ABC stations that won’t air Jimmy Kimmel’s return
Sinclair Broadcast Group announced its ABC affiliates will not air “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” – replacing it with local news instead.
Per the above article: Sinclair owned ABC affiliate stations won’t air Jimmy Kimmel’s return
Sinclair to preempt ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ for ABC affiliates
Since the chairman and top honcho of Sinclair (David D. Smith), is a prominent donor to Republican causes and Trump supporter, it appears he personally doesn’t like Jimmy Kimmel because of his constant criticism and making fun of Trump, so he’s using the Charlie Kirk controversy as an excuse to ban Kimmel from his network of TV Stations and not giving a DAMN about the millions of viewers who wants to watch Kimmel. IMO, this is Soviate Russia Authoritarianism censorship conduct and is inconsistent with the values America has always stood for.
Sinclair Broadcasting engages in Right Wing Propaganda by forcing their numerous local stations to run one-sided segments praising Trump and his administration as shown in this video. This is a threat to democracy

President of Media Matters for America, Angelo Carusone and Donny Deutsch join Nicolle Wallace on Deadline White House with a look at the impact that Sinclair Broadcast Group is having on what Americans are seeing on their local airwaves with radical right wing propaganda being spread on million’s of televisions across the country.
TV news is supposed to be unbiased. Sinclair Broadcast Media has proven to be a Threat to Democracy by forcing “Must-Run” Pro-Trump, Radical Right Wing Propaganda on Americans through local news outlets, disguised as journalism and news reporting.

Sinclair, Conservative Local TV Giant, Cuts Pro-Trump Propagandist
The company is dropping right-wing opinion segments from former Trump staffer Boris Epshteyn.
DECEMBER 11, 2019 – UPDATE: Sinclair, Conservative Local TV Giant, Cuts Pro-Trump Propagandist
The Sinclair Broadcast Group, a pro-Trump media company that owns nearly 200 local stations around the country and regularly seeds them with right-wing talking points, is backing away from political commentary, according to NBC News.
In a statement sent out to staff Wednesday, the company said it will nix current political commentary segments and dedicate the time to “local investigative journalism.” The most high-profile casualty of the change is Boris Epshteyn, a former Trump campaign staffer who used his “Bottom Line” segment to push the Trump agenda. In one particularly incendiary bit, Epshteyn, who will be transitioned to a “sales role” at Sinclair, said immigrants at the U.S.-Mexico border were attempting an “invasion of our country.”
