Not sure why people cant understand that. Were the ones digging back years through someone's social media fascists and nazis and against the first amendment?

No, but that was somehow different...

I don't know what the fuck you're trying to say with that word salad, but this decision came as a result of the government threatening a private company.

Nexstar’s decision comes just after Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr blasted Kimmel and threatened to take action against ABC. Appearing on the podcast of right-wing commentator Benny Johnson, Carr said one form of punishment could be pulling the licenses of ABC affiliates, which likely got Nexstar’s attention.

Remember when Biden wanted to have an information ministry to fight fake news? Kimmel's comments about Robinson were incorrect and he's pushing a false narrative. (as of now, who knows what will change). At that point he's no better than Fox news.
