"....Always follow the money" Trump, and conservative media allies, Sinclair, are now demanding Jimmy Kimmel give a big donation in order to get back on the air...
If you recall, they own hundreds of local TV stations and are the ones that aired the anti-Obama "documentary," their national political director was Boris Epshteyn, and they had a regular piece in their local nightly news called the "Terrorism News Desk," primarily spreading Islamophobia and exaggerated claims of ongoing terrorism in the US. #USPol #Kimmel

John Oliver did a great piece about them. At the time, Sinclair Broadcast Group is the largest owner of local TV stations in the country. That's alarming considering that they often inject political views into local news. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvtNyOzGogc
