15. Wrong target. SINCLAIR are dragging their feet to save face but are officially "considering it". Testing the wind.

If you want it back, make your feelings known to your Sinclair station.

Disney does not own Sinclair.
Disney cannot force Sinclair to take it.
Disney (ABC) has reinstated Kimmel.

If you boycott Disney, they will think you are a right-wing Kimmel hater boycotting them for reinstating Kimmel.

Boycott Sinclair. Contact the station to let the right target know.
