Meanwhile... I had just been putting the finishing touches on an article about Disney/Jimmy Kimmel just *won* the lawsuit George Santos had filed against him... Guess I need to put that aside to write up this nonsense.
This is insane. Once again, Kimmel didn't even say what Carr accused him of saying.
Update: It's not just Nexstar
