Conservative broadcaster Sinclair is putting Jimmy Kimmel Live! back on the air. In a statement today, Sinclair said it will end its preemption of the show on its ABC affiliates starting tonight, even though ABC and owner Disney haven't accepted its request for an ombudsman and other changes.

Incredible that folks were able to muster this much outage over Jimmy Kimmel.

A shame they can't manage it for Gaza.

Thanks to the outrage over Jimmy Kimmel, John Oliver yesterday was able to broadcast a 40 minutes rant against Netanyahu and its genocidal actions calling him "this fucking guy". Unbelievable on American TV

Apples and Oranges; all people had to do was cancel subscriptions (plus Jimmy was well liked in the industry). Clear target, low risk, no effort. Hell, if it was just Sinclair, people would have no idea which channels were theirs and have a harder time boycotting.

Gaza is a lot less clear... I mean, anywhere from direct action and volunteering, to... not voting in 2024? That message is only now breaking through to (some) governments. And Palestine doesn't really have powerful allies and have been tormented for decades, so it's good that at least some people now want to do something just for the injustice of it all. Hell, now we even have the added risk of getting fired! (Edit: or fucking arrested if you're in UK, oof).

People just need to cancel their subscriptions to Lockheed martin and Northrop Grumman and tell them its over Gaza to stop it!

Seriously, it’s fucking hilarious. Now they can chuckle while their country devolves into a fascist hell hole.

They won't chuckle. Jimmy isn't that funny.

He's at least the somewhat funny Jimmy late night host
