ABC cancelled the show due to a tweet by Rosanne about Valarie Jarret. So maybe ABC does have some limits. Maybe they could look at the news division sometime too.

NEW YORK (AP) ABC canceled its hit reboot of "Roseanne" on Tuesday following star Roseanne Barr's racist tweet that referred to former Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett as a product of the Muslim Brotherhood and the "Planet of the Apes."
ABC Entertainment President Channing Dungey said the comment "is abhorrent, repugnant and inconsistent with our values." Barr had apologized and deleted her Monday-night tweet, calling it a "bad joke," but the damage had already been done.
The revival of the comedy was a surprise smash for ABC, owned by the Walt Disney Co., and was counted on to lead the network's fortunes next season. Its first new episode in March was seen by more than 25 million people, with delayed viewing counted in, numbers that are increasingly rare in network television.
Dungey's statement canceling the show came after Wanda Sykes, consulting producer for "Roseanne," tweeted that she was leaving. Sara Gilbert, a co-star, also tweeted that the remark was abhorrent.
One of the few network shows about a working-class family, "Roseanne" attracted considerable attention upon its return when Barr's character supported President Donald Trump. That made the show popular with conservative viewers, and Trump himself suggested the character's backing had a lot to do with the show's success.
But ABC had said that it expected the show, when it returned next fall, to tone down political comedy.
The Jarrett comment was one of a series of political tweets made by Barr. She criticized Democratic financier George Soros and tweeted that Chelsea Clinton was "Chelsea Soros Clinton," implying she was married to a nephew of Soros. Clinton herself corrected Barr online, and Donald Trump Jr. retweeted two of Barr's statements about Soros, although not the remark about Jarrett.
Jarrett, who is black, was brought up in response to Twitter commentary that raised her name in relation to an Obama conspiracy theory. Barr tweeted: "muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes had a baby=vj."
She later tweeted an apology to Jarrett. "Forgive me," she wrote. "My joke was in bad taste."

Even on, "The View" it would have gotten her fired. Rosanne knew better, and now she's gone. She should be sentenced to, "Life in Starbucks" with no chance of McDonald's parole.

Ms. Barr's comments on VJ were all that, but they are completely in agreement with 24 X 7 hate on our President, everything he says and does, all his appointments, his wife, his family.... and every citizen who voted for him. That's perfectly fine.
Many argued that VJ, was a large part of the brains of the 0 administration.
MSM can blow me. (not really, it's just an expression)

Since the inception of the latest Rosanne series I have had some great suspicions about it. It made no sense to me. The media and the entertainment industry have been in a full court press against Trump and his administration from the get-go. Fabricated stories and half truths are the norm from them. The idea that ABC is going to serve up a "pro" Trump agenda series is suspect on it's face. To have Wanda Sykes as a producer is suspect as well. I thought from the beginning that the intent was to draw in the Trump crowd, get them on board then have something stupid happen to have the Trump crowd disassociate themselves from Trump. Trump "supported" Rosanne, Rosanne is a racist ergo Trump is as well.
I know, I know, you likely think I see conspiracies everywhere.
But again, WANDA SYKES producing a "pro" Trump sit-com? On ABC? You really think this was going to end well?

They were looking for a reason to cancel the show and they found an excuse. They could have said any number of things but I bet when she did the show it was like nails on a blackboard to them. Valerie Jarrett basically runs the Obama strategies and is living with them now that was a big no no for Rosanne.
Examples like this below are ok though.
White House deputy press secretary Hogan Gidley had a disappointing response for unhinged liberal actor Robert De Niro, who said recently President Donald Trump is banned from the Nobu restaurant chain he co-owns.
Robert De Niro cussed out President Donald Trump on Tuesday as he introduced Meryl Streep at the National Board of Review Annual Awards Gala.
Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) files reveal that the dad, maternal grandpa and father-in-law of President Obama’s trusted senior advisor, Valerie Jarrett, were hardcore Communists under investigation by the U.S. government.
Jarrett’s dad, pathologist and geneticist Dr. James Bowman, had extensive ties to Communist associations and individuals, his lengthy FBI file shows. In 1950 Bowman was in communication with a paid Soviet agent named Alfred Stern, who fled to Prague after getting charged with espionage. Bowman was also a member of a Communist-sympathizing group called the Association of Internes and Medical Students. After his discharge from the Army Medical Corps in 1955, Bowman moved to Iran to work, the FBI records show.

I don't think so. They love making money, and would have been glad to hate her all the way to the bank. She made it impossible for them to do so. (shrug) |

The collective scum that inhabits Hollywood was just fine with Colbert's foul "Vladimir Putin's rooster Holster" joke when Trump was the target, so please spare us your phony scripted outrage now. If that section of the continental shelf broke off and slid into the Pacific Ocean tomorrow that would be just fine by me.

For sure, and to really show how stupid they feel we are, the Rosanne show that was supposed to start 3 minutes ago was already pulled. Not exactly how it's been handled up until now. Hope they realize they've just set themselves up to "have" to pull the plug within 24 hrs. anytime somebody forgets the difference between thinking and talking. |

Don't agree with the Jarrett comments, but I don't care what she said about Soros. He's a turd, and has no other reason to live but to undermine the US and cause chaos. Piss on him. As far as Rosanne, I never cared for her after the National Anthem Episode. She has no class, period!

Given a little more thought, this could turn out to be awesome. As I see it there is now, one could make a hit listfor any show on television you want to see disappear in 24 hours or less. All you have to dois verify and send in a "horrible" statement made by a controlling principal in the show. I wonder how the networks are going to survive with
no late night TV shows, no Samantha Bee, and I'm sure anyone from The View who may
have whispered something in what they thought was a private conversation. In the home version of the game there's Google. The professional version requires cash. You have to come up with enough money to make a former staffer, writer co-star or celebrity toss them under the bus and repeat some racist line they remember them saying in school, or a party, or
even their imagination. Won't matter if played correctly.
Like Britman said, "We are making the bed we deserve to lie in".
