my first job was for my aunts web shop, virtual sprockets, making websites for non-profits.

Five star review: “Just moved to Burlington, was driving around to get to know the area and saw this absolute gem! I was literally screaming with joy in my car. Beautiful place and perfect for a family gathering or simply to bring the little ones grocery shopping. I'll be cumming every day... Maybe even twice a day.”

Reddit comment by user kylehatesyou. Nexstar's CEO is a right wing goon that gives a platform to the shittiest people you remember like Bill O'Reilly and Chris Cuomo on their Newsnation cable news network. They have a clear bias and will be looking for any reason to express it and silence voices in this moment of chaos. This isn't really about Jimmy Kimmel. We have been failed by our government for decades. The institution that failed us this time was the FCC. Under Reagan and Clinton (and likely now Trump who, Sook, the CEO of Nexstar, hopes will allow him to own even more stations) which removed limits on how many stations an individual entity could own means that Nexstar and their 197 stations nationwide (more than 20 times the amount of over the air (OTA) stations you could own before ownership limits were weakened/ repealed) have a lot more power than they would have 30 to 40 years ago. Jimmy Kimmel would have had to piss off 20 owners to end up with a suspension before, now, it's one. There is still a limit on the number of OTA stations you can own, but it basically leaves room for three major players to control the narrative. Sook is hoping that the current limit that you can only own stations that reach less than 40% of the country, will be repealed completely by Trump, so he can work towards a media monopoly, and end up with even less diversity of thought allowed on our televisions.
its a little blender, full of smoothie, dancing
