I remember saying this at the time. I haven’t watched “The Daily Show” since Jon Stewart started whining about Biden. You don’t change your candidate at the last minute. In a perfect world, Biden never runs. But he did. Clooney was also part of the problem. apple.news/Al39bFBpbR8a...

I am quite the Apple Fanboy. I suspect if I stopped buying their products, they might need to lay off an employee or two. Well, maybe not that, but I’m pretty devoted. I’ve excused Tim Cook’s Trump overtures as that of a CEO holding his nose. But this looks troubling. apple.news/AVbhO3M3MQjS...

So Sinclair is on record saying they will preempt “Jimmy Kimmel Live.” It’s their station. I don’t have to agree with their choice.
But help me out here. Being the affiliate means they get first rights for all network programming. But isn’t ABC allowed to just let someone else air it?

My apologies to everyone at “Only Murders in the Building.” My Hulu subscription expires halfway through the season, and as much as I enjoy the show, I really don’t want to give money to Disney anymore.
