Jimmy Kimmel's opening riposte is so old it goes back to at least 1577 in the mouth of Luis de León, whose followers established The School of Salamanca


 

 Unamuno was removed from his two university chairs by the dictator General Miguel Primo de Rivera in 1924, over the protests of other Spanish intellectuals. ... Unamuno returned to Spain after the fall of General Primo de Rivera's dictatorship in 1930 and took up his rectorship again. It is said in Salamanca that the day he returned to the university, Unamuno began his lecture by saying, as Fray Luis de León had done after four years of imprisonment by the Spanish Inquisition, "As we were saying yesterday..." (Decíamos ayer...).

Charlie Gasparino for The New York Post admits Kimmel is profitable for Disney, but the Nexstar and Sinclair stations which banned Kimmel stupidly took the hit last night

 ... But Disney, the parent of ABC, where “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” airs, squeezes a lot of juice out of Kimmel, people there tell me. There are affiliate fees for networks that pick up Kimmel’s programming, online ads and sponsorship deals. He hosts the Oscars, which helps with brand building. 

The segments featuring his sidekick, Guillermo Rodriguez, are also a draw for advertisers, these people say. Taken together, all this means Kimmel, despite his annual salary of $16 million (nearly as much as his ad-revenue losses), a massive staff (200 people working on the show) and falling ratings, is profitable, my sources at Disney say. ...

Just say NO! to Tylenol TM lol

Nexstar and Sinclair pleasing their masters at the FCC, which holds the fate of their merger plans in its hands, Disney not so much

 Nexstar, Sinclair won’t air Jimmy Kimmel’s return on ABC affiliates  

... ABC parent Disney announced Monday it would bring back “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” after pausing the show indefinitely last week following comments by host Kimmel ... 

Nexstar is currently seeking FCC approval for its proposed $6.2 billion merger with fellow broadcast station owner Tegna. And while it has yet to ink a deal, Sinclair is also exploring merger options for its broadcast stations.

Disney, meanwhile, is seeking regulatory approval for a deal in which the NFL would acquire 10% of the company’s ESPN in exchange for NFL Media assets.

This is risible propaganda posing as news from The Hill, which is the same Nexstar which pulled Kimmel's show

Is DePauw University also a subsidiary of Nexstar?

And how much was this guy paid to write this? 

Kimmel's Ratings in Steep Decline, ABC Looked for Way Out


Tyrant Trump and his FCC want to cancel comedic speech over the public airwaves which 75,019,682 people who didn't vote for him find funny

Don't the PUBLIC airwaves have to serve them, too? 

 

... Through this public spectrum for radio and TV stations, the federal agency has the right to regulate broadcasting and requires each network “by law to operate its station in the ‘public interest, convenience and necessity.’ Generally, this means it must air programming that is responsive to the needs and problems of its local community of license,” according to the FCC website. ...

Typically, the discussion of whether a station violated the FCC’s guidelines centers around children’s programming, a cut to news content, or obscenity — such as Janet Jackson’s wardrobe malfunction during the Super Bowl in 2004. ...

If Wisconsin is so critical in the GOP race, why have all three candidates traveled away from it this week?

Byron York wants to know, here:

MILWAUKEE — The Wisconsin Republican primary is so critical to Donald Trump that, after having pledged "I'll be here all week" to his supporters, Trump promptly departed to Washington and other destinations for a couple of days off the trail prior to next Tuesday's vote.

The Wisconsin GOP contest is so critical to Sen. Ted Cruz that he took off to California for some fundraising and a guest spot on Jimmy Kimmel, in addition to a stop in North Dakota for its delegate convention, before returning to Wisconsin for a few more days of campaigning.

The Wisconsin primary is so critical to Gov. John Kasich that he headed to New York, where his highest-profile accomplishment was to be photographed eating pizza with a fork.

Jimmy Kimmel thinks he's Mark Dice, finds Americans to congratulate N. Korea on H-bomb


Not convincing like Mark Dice, however, who has shown over and over again that street-walking Americans really are, well, brain-dead zombies.
