The media group said it did so out of respect for the family of right-wing provocateur Charlie Kirk. Kimmel\u2019s monologue included comments about Kirk.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sinclair has also been accused of spreading misinformation to promote right-wing talking points, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/article\/2024\/jul\/02\/sinclair-tv-disinformation-conservative-news\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/article\/2024\/jul\/02\/sinclair-tv-disinformation-conservative-news\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">The Guardian reports<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even so, some on the r\/sanantonio Reddit page said they\u2019ve had enough of\u00a0what they characterize as censorship, pointing to the moderators\u2019 earlier decision\u00a0to block content from the independent and locally owned Current for its reporting on U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The moderators of the r\/sanantonio page declined to answer the Current\u2019s questions about the possible ban on News 4 SA\u2019s content.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI thought we defeated the Nazis,\u201d user @SA_Steed said of the proposed ban on the TV station\u2019s articles.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reddit user @SetoKeating also disagreed with the move while noting that they don\u2019t personally agree with News 4 SA\u2019s reporting.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019m very politically liberal, and I think banning [News 4 SA] would be a terrible idea,\u201d they wrote. \u201cThe last thing we need is the San Antonio subreddit turning into an echo chamber where people never see any contrasting viewpoints to the majority-held opinion.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, the controversy over the r\/sanantonio page and its moderators has now jumped to TikTok, with user @amanduhmoreno <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@amanduhmoreno\/video\/7684378619551943950?_r=1&amp;_t=ZT-99jg6eEMw1t\" data-type=\"link\"

with new moderators.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cY\u2019all fucking suck, you\u2019re horrible at your job,\u201d she said of the current moderators. \u201cI have my own biases towards [News 4 SA], but I think it\u2019s a very slippery slope to be able to censor what type of media people are talking about and ingesting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reddit users have four days left to vote on whether to ban News 4 SA articles from the thread.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><a
