Jimmy Kimmel's already-small audience was Thanos snapped, as a large number of affiliates owned by Sinclair and Nexstar continue pre-empting his wretched "show."

BREAKING: Jimmy Kimmel addresses his lies about the assassination of Charlie Kirk that resulted in him being ripped off air last week in his return to late night.
Sinclair and Nexstar, who own nearly 25% of local ABC stations, are not airing tonight's show.
Keep in mind as you watch his fake tears and lying about what he did and calling Christians bad Christians if they don't forgive him -- he's trying to put this matter to rest and get Sinclair and Nexstar to air his show again.
And even with that as his goal, he still offers no apologies, no retraction of his lie, and even invokes Erika Kirk to insist that Christians must forgive him if they're really Christian.
Kimmel immediately began attacking Trump and declaring that The Real Victims Here in the Charlie Kirk assassination were leftwing fake journalists.
He lied about his intention in claiming that "MAGA is doing whatever it can to prove that the killer wasn't one of their gang." He pretends the offense was that we were claiming he was making light of the murder -- which he was doing, but we're so used to that that it barely even registers -- and refuses to admit he deliberately lied about who the killer was.
He still won't admit the murder was a leftist filled with hate. He claims the killer is merely a "sick person," and then further insists that he's The Real Victim Here by talking about the "death threats" he gets.
If that wasn't repulsive enough, he really tops himself next: He uses Erika Kirk as his human shield, and insists that since she forgave her husband's killer, it's all Christians' duty to forgive him.
Note that he claims to be a Christian as well, and says that we must all show the same "selfless moment of grace" that Erika Kirk showed.
Right before showing Trump no grace whatsoever.
But you're required to forgive, Christian. Not me. Just you.
Jimmy Kimmel's audience turns out to be older white Boomer lefties.
