What took 'em so long?

Maybe he'll go back to doing 'blackface'...to see if that still works for him.

Keep up bud.
I can now see that you don't really follow the ongoings on the administration and the individuals that get hired.
All good as tomorrow is another day.

I'm thinking Turning Point USA can sue Kimmel and ABC for a crap ton of money now.
That'll run quite a few thousand new chapters for a long time.

Civil maybe, but if that happens then the flood gates will open and turning point will go broke.

ABC suspended Jimmy for outright lying
They saw what happened to the last person that made up their own narrative and didn't want to foot his bill

Capitalism

One of the many reasons the FCC can do this is out of public interest requirement for broadcast.

47 C.F.R. Part 73 (Broadcast Services)
Contains broader rules for TV and radio licensees, including requirements to serve the public interest.

Take a step back and read.
