[Intro]
\nMake the choice
\n(To raise your voice!)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nNexstar Joins Sinclair in
\nSilencing Jimmy Kimmel\u2019s Return
\nMake the choice
\n(To raise your voice!)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nHumor exposes lies
\n(And no one dies)
\nHumor punctures egos
\n(Don’t cha know, oh, oh, oh)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nHumor topples emperors
\n… who are sure they wear clothes
\n(Make the choice)
\nTo raise your voice!
\n(Now everyone knows)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nAffiliate
\nWith your nearest affiliate
\nAfter all…
\nYou can grab ’em by the balls<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\n[Bridge]
\n[Chorus]<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nHumor topples emperors
\n… who are sure they wear clothes
\n(Make the choice)
\nTo raise your voice!
\n(Now everyone knows)
\nIn the pain of their reign
\n(Our garden grows)
\nHumor punctures egos
\n(Watch their ebb flow)
\nDon’t cha know, oh, oh, oh
\n(Whoa woe, oh, oh, oh)<\/p>\n

ABOUT THE SONG: Nexstar Joins Sinclair in Silencing Jimmy Kimmel\u2019s ABC Return<\/p>\n

\n
PSA: \u201cKilling humor isn\u2019t funny. Kill humor, kill freedom. Not so funny now, is it?\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Make the choice to raise your voice! Just say NO! to censorship<\/strong>. This is about silencing opposition. This is about killing comedy before it can mock power \u2014 and make no mistake, satire has always been the sharpest blade in democracy\u2019s arsenal — democracy\u2019s secret weapon.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
That\u2019s why tyrants fear it, that\u2019s why dictators ban it, and that\u2019s why Trump is trying to kill it. Humor exposes lies. Humor punctures egos. Humor topples emperors who think they wear clothes.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Long live comedy. Long live satire. It\u2019s time for all of us to pick up the torch and rise. Sharpen your wit, wield your words, and refuse to be silenced.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Nexstar Joins Sinclair in Silencing Jimmy Kimmel\u2019s ABC Return<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The Story as Facts<\/strong><\/div>\n
It\u2019s almost identical to the CBS situation, but with ABC affiliates this time. Sinclair is a massive MAGA operation, and Ellison is mega MAGA as well. ABC affiliates owned by Nexstar are part of a proposed acquisition of TEGNA that still requires FCC approval. For context, Paramount Global, the parent company of the CBS network and its owned-and-operated stations, was recently acquired by Skydance Media in a deal the FCC approved in July 2025. Trump\u2019s pattern is clear: he wants to silence Stephen Colbert on CBS and Jimmy Kimmel on ABC. In an obvious quid pro quo, CBS and ABC had to capitulate to Trump or the FCC would deny the deals\u2014basic mob-like extortion at the highest levels of government.<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Here\u2019s How You Can Fight Back<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

ABC is putting the show back on the ABC network. However, many ABC stations are owned by affiliates.\u00a0 Two investment groups, Sinclair and Nexstar, own dozens of stations.<\/p>\n

\n
Nexstar has now joined Sinclair in refusing to air Jimmy Kimmel\u2019s return on ABC.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
