[ [link removed] ]Jimmy Kimmel proved public
pressure works. Sign the
petition to save Colbert.

Tuesday night, during a 20-minute passionate defense of free speech in
America, Jimmy Kimmel pointed out that a couple right-wing media goliaths
(Sinclair and Nexstar) are still blocking the public from watching his
show.

"We are now on the air in most of the country except ironically for
Washington, DC …We are off the air in Nashville, New Orleans, Portland
Oregon, Salt Lake City, and St. Louis." And he mentioned Seattle.

These media conglomerates are taking away a show you love because of their
political beliefs. Who do they actually think they are – the TV police?

The PCCC is asking those who live in the local areas identified by Kimmel
to call their local stations. But you also have a role.

Kimmel made clear the wider stakes here for our country:

"This show is not important. What is important is that we get to live in a
country that allows us to have a show like this.

"That’s something I’m embarrassed to say I took for granted until they
pulled my friend Stephen off the air and tried to coerce the affiliates
who run our show in the cities that you live in to take my show off the
air. That’s not legal. That’s not American. That is un-American and it is
so dangerous…

"We have to speak out against this because he’s not stopping."

Just like they want to take away your reproductive rights, they want to
take away your freedom to choose what and who you watch on TV now. What a
bunch of babies.

Thanks for fighting back.
