    ‘Roseanne’ Canceled at ABC Following Valerie Jarrett Tweet

    ABC Entertainment has canceled the revival of its hit show Roseanne after actress Roseanne Barr posted a racist tweet describing former Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett as the product of the Muslim Brotherhood and Planet of the Apes.

    “Roseanne’s Twitter statement is abhorrent, repugnant and inconsistent with our values, and we have decided to cancel her show,” ABC Entertainment president Channing Dungey said Tuesday.

    Barr had apologized for the tweet, claiming that it was a “bad joke” that was “in bad taste,” after she was hit with immediate backlash for her racist remark.

    “I apologize to Valerie Jarrett and to all Americans. I am truly sorry for making a bad joke about her politics and her looks,” Barr said. “I should have known better. Forgive me-my joke was in bad taste.”

    WHOOPS... well that didn't last long.

    Considering all the other racy stuff she's tweeted about over the past so many months, Valerie Jarrett was the straw that broke the camel's back, I guess?

Both mistrust the people, and therefore deprive them of their arms." -- Aristotle, Book V, 350 B.C.E

    Leftists were looking for a reason to cancel her show anyway. After all, she's a Trump supporter.

    Actually, the Left has, publicly, said much worse things about anyone they consider "conservative," it's just further proof that Communists will use anything they can to destroy someone they don't like.

    Hypocrisy at its best.

    By the way, I thought her tweet was very creative and hilarious.

    like maybe:
    "just shows you what type of people Trump supporters are"
    Like maybe she really wasn't

    I bet abc will be boycotted and Barr will star in some show on another network.

    Fortunately they got her away before she started throwing it

    Anyone hear about Samantha Bee
    Never heard of her myself before this

    https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/n...s-ivanka-trump
    Advertisers of "Full Frontal with Samantha Bee" have started to pull their sponsorship of the show after the host called Ivanka Trump a "feckless c--t."
    ..................
    “We have asked TBS to suspend our advertising in the program and are reviewing any future placements. We constantly review programs to ensure alignment to our programming guidelines and brand values," State Farm said in a statement to the outlet.

    During her Wednesday night show, Bee said the first daughter was a “feckless c--t” and told her to "put on something tight and low-cut and tell your father to fucking stop it."
    .................

    Guess we'll see how far this goes not holding my breath

    Samantha Bee is a Communist/Dimoccrat/Leftist shill who's attempt to be even remotely humorous is not even close to being funny. She's nothing more than a foul-mouthed, self-important, narcissistic cunt who has no sense of decency, nor a sense of honor. Her parents failed to raise her correctly.

    She's a Trump hater and anti-American to boot.

    She's done far worse than Roseanne could ever hope to do...and she did it live on TV.

    Her career (if one can call it that) needs to be ended.

    You figure the audience would finaly get tired of all the Trump bashing day in day out, every lib network is Trump 24/7.

    Yep, got tired of late nite talk shows bashing Trump. I now watch reruns of the great Johnny Carson and find that his 40 year old shows are infinitely more funny than the current breed of wannabes.

    I just read they're thinking of a reboot with Sara Gilbert as the star.

    Speaking of reboots

    https://stream.org/hypocritical-holl...-man-standing/
    On the one hand, Hollywood stars preach gun control and want to ban guns. On the other, they love to make movies glorifying gun violence.
    ................
    But perhaps times are changing. Tim Allen’s popular sitcom “Last Man Standing” is about to address guns in a different way. On the show, Allen, a conservative, owns a sporting goods store on the show that sells firearms. “So we’re going to have to deal with that somehow,” he told Closer Weekly. The show will present guns positively, for use in sports and protection from others who misuse guns.
    ABC canceled the popular show last year after six seasons. Fans suspected it was because of the show’s conservative bent. Allen portrays a conservative father who opines about Obamacare, the environment and other political issues. The network is bringing the show back now, no doubt due to its high ratings. A positive portrayal of guns will be a refreshing change.
    ...............
    Sounds like they doing damage control to keep their conservative audience

    then it completely flops and they go " we don't know what happened"





    I think the media/hollywood are living in a prefabricated reality that they just can't let go of. Self inflated egos are great until the bottom drops out.
