It seems that Trump referred to the previous payouts he received in his post about Kimmel's return. This should make it easy for Disney and ABC to point out any free speech violations, but that will still require a fight in court, and they may still opt to capitulate. However, Trump's response makes them look really bad as it highlights the nature of any deal they make in future. It is saying, "I already got ransom from you once. How much more will I have you pay this time?" Honestly, some other country should probably question the companies about what kind of access and influence they allow the USA to have. Disney would be interesting, given the significant impact it has had on culture over the past decade. Especially with how much talk about hybrid warfare, foreign influence and propaganda has been talked about in the past decade and how there is a desire to police it more in the future. For example, could Disney movies require some notice about content being approved by the USA government when presented in other countries?

this map supposedly shows cities where the owners of the cable network forbid local stations to show JKL.

The Owners are "Sinclair" and "Nexstar"

"Nexstar" needs a special permit from the FCC to aquire "Tegna" ... because this would give Nexstar a grip on 80% on all TV-Stations.

Maybe TV is "old". But it reaches a lot of people. And it's showing that the world needs Trust busting again. More jobs, less profit for owners, less potential to "Liquify Reality" via your market power.
