How Long Will Sinclair and Nexstar’s Jimmy Kimmel Blackouts Last? Why Disney and ABC Have the Upper Hand in the Standoffs
Nexstar said Wednesday that while it is 'engaged in productive discussions' with Disney, it will continue to preempt late-night show for the time being
On Tuesday night, viewers in more than 60 U.S. markets couldn’t watch “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” — his first show back after a weeklong suspension by Disney — on their local ABC stations. The Kimmel boycotts by two big TV station groups, Sinclair and Nexstar, clearly drove many fans in those areas to watch his monologue on YouTube, where ABC posted it around midnight ET. It quickly became the show’s most-viewed video on the platform so far in 2025. -snip
I give it about a month before Trumper owned Nexstar and Sinclair start airing Kimmel in their regions because it's money they're losing and then Trump will throw another hissy-fit and attack his own allies again like the Dotard he is. Good stuff to come
Trump really screwed up with weaponizing the FCC like he did with the DOJ and IRS in his first term. Precedent set again.

Trump Gave Shameless Excuse to Aides for Being Epstein’s BFF
The president may have had a reprieve from the wall-to-wall headlines and calls to make public files that will purportedly show just how close he was to the late, disgraced financier, although it refuses to die down entirely.
But back in the summer, with his long-standing friendship with Epstein very much under the microscope and his MAGA base livid at his refusal to release the files, things were very different as the White House scrambled to contain the crisis. -snip
It's because Trump and Epstein were the closets of friends, Trump had nothing but nice things and praise for Epstein, on top of the client-vendor sex-trafficking relationship they shared for decades.
Trump turned Epstein in once he realized what was going on with Democrats in Hollywood elites at Epstein Island. Look it up it’s in the files.

‘Bomb went off’: Report reveals moment Epstein files rocked the White House and why Trump is desperate to keep them secret
The Trump administration’s handling of the Epstein files fallout was reportedly a summer of ‘disorganization,’ high-stakes strategy meetings in the Situation Room, and a series of ‘errors’ - snip
More like a nuke went off.Trump's desperate to keep Epstein a secret because he's implicated. He and Vance thought they could rewrite reality, but when he told told it would be too risky, he shifted gears and went "There is no client list, stop talking about it!", and then called his own in disbelief supporters losers. That last part was fun to watch.
