Which is why the affiliates said they would drop him, and ABC suspended him. The system worked as it should.

If it had just been Sinclair and Nexstar complaining to ABC, that would have been a situation that networks have dealt with before. The system did not work as it should because the new chairman of the FCC was not letting the market decide what would happen, but instead was making uninformed threats.

FCC should drop the hammer. Kimmel lying about a significant news event clearly violated their policy against "news distortion" in over-the-air broadcast. If he wants to continue being a lying political propagandist, take it to cable.

Only if the system one supports is one of government intimidation, not the one we purportedly have

Enforcing the rules for over-the-air broadcasting isn't "government intimidation". It's just enforcing the rules.

Directly from their website:

"The FCC has had a policy against "news distortion" in over-the-air broadcast (local TV and radio stations) news for over 50 years. Cable news networks, newspapers or newsletters (whether online or print), social media platforms, online-only streaming outlets, or any other non-broadcast news platform are outside of the FCC's jurisdiction with respect to news distortion."

Like I said, if he wants to continuing being a lying political propagandist, take it to cable or youtube.

If other people can have their opinion about it right here for the last 4 pages, why can't I?

Sinclair has decided to preempt his show for their 38 affiliates. Hoping for some Andy Griffith or Twilight Zone reruns. Even some Hee Haw would be a step up.
