In a move that reeks of political theater more than public service, ABC has pulled its hit late-night show "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" from its lineup "indefinitely." According to Variety, the decision came after Nexstar Media — one of the country's largest local TV station owners — said that they "intended to pre-empt airings" of the show following Kimmel's blunt remarks about his opinion on the right-wing exploitation of Charlie Kirk's death.

President Trump, speaking aboard Air Force One Thursday after his UK state visit, floated the idea of punishing television networks for what he described as overwhelmingly negative coverage of his presidency,

Nexstar says its decision to pull "Jimmy Kimmel Live" from its ABC affiliates was not related to its business deals that require FCC approval.
