The decision by Nexstar comes as the broadcast station is seeking FCC approval for its $6.2 billion mega deal to acquire Tegna, a deal that would make Nexstar by far the largest owner of local TV stations in the country.

The FCC would have to raise the 40 percent ownership cap in order to let the deal advance.

Quote from The Hollywood Reporter. Just like CBS with Colbert.

As an immediate illustration to your point apparently Reddit politics has apparently been removing this story left and right.

If the fediverse was a threat then it would also be a target.

They can't monetize on PeerTube, so they won't

EDIT: I misread your comment. Forget I said anything. Carry on.

Hear hear!

free speech absolutists

Sooo... I'm guessing the complaints are coming from people who didn't watch it? Because I can't put my finger on anything that was horrible or false or anything.

I've been saying that the billionaires and oligarchs — who own the majority of the S&P500 and political class — WANT fascism for the last 2 decades. They are behind it's political resurgence, globally; most have already publicly stated things that prove they are authoritarian sociopaths (Musk, Thiel, the Koch's, Ellison, Zuck, etc).

This explains why Trump has never seen the invite or a prison cell, despite 100 clear as day felonies, why the Dem establishment has never done more than performative resistance, etc.

This is why they got rid of him. WTF there was nothing bad I guess making daddy Trump look bad is against the law.

We just found out when someone does something that all the top supposedly leftist commentators immediately capitulate and actually cry about it like a bunch of bitch-baby neoliberals

But... Someone tried actually resisting and now we're all hand wringing over it...

Yeah, it's not looking good for them. Everyone is siding with trump in fear of being targeted.

"Why can't we put all the people that disagree with our speech in jail? Why?!"

Free speech absolutist means they want to be able to say the horrible things they believe out loud so they can encourage others to act on those beliefs. At the same time, they believe its their "right" to continue to hold everyone in their life hostage and force them to tolerate their lies and hate speech.

Why were universities letting this shit bag talk to their students?

Those are paraphrases of Kirk's words. It might be more accurate to say those are his positions.

I've seen this before. It would really be a lot nicer if these quotes all had sources. Just showing someone a list of quotes with no context doesn't really scream "credible" to this target audience.

We need to start poisoning Disney brands.

Never thought I’d see the day the Mouse wore a swastika.

Not only do I agree, but I will comment to show visible support. This isn't about Charlie it's free speech.

I cancelled mine too. Clicked other but don't remember seeing a place to comment. Missed opportunity. Well done you, though.

It’s getting close.

Absolutely! I've been an ABC News viewer for many years, but I've been concerned lately. This cements it. I'll be switching my news to NBC for the time being.

Honestly he said more about how little Trump gave a shit about him and how much more Trump cared about his stupid ballroom

It is Disney
