this wasnt done to appease trump but to appease the FCC chair
Nexstar is looking to buy more stations for something like 1.6 billion. the problem is that will put them over the threshold of 38% (i think that is the number i saw) of total stations owned in the country and is currently not allowed. by getting one of the sitting presidents vocal critics off the air this will gain favor of the FCC to allow an exemption.
the fact that fox can say on air that homeless people should be put to death and no one bats an eye but kimmel users charlies own words should tell you all you need to know

This isn't much different than when the mods are pressured by the unseen forces of phpBB to ban dev or other "troublesome" rmicans, actually.

If I were Kimmel, I'd have done his show as normal and put it out on YT.

Except the company owns the studio, so they would deny him that use.
And they own the rights to the show, so that would be a yuge lawsuit.

Love seeing all the free speech advocates!
Trump and Co. making an issue out of this when they could have stuck with Kirk getting murdered for speaking is a pretty typical own-goal. Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
