ABC cancels 'Roseanne' after racist Twitter rant

Anonymous
Let’s not sell Roseanne short. To her credit, she’s a raging anti-Semite with a Soros obsession as well.

Roseanne was the TV season's No. 1 scripted series on all of broadcast. Roseanne had been averaging a 5.5 rating among adults 18-49 and 19.3 million viewers with live-plus-3 lifts. With a full week of time-shifting, those numbers climbed to a 6.4 rating in the key demo and 22.1 million viewers. Either way, Roseanne was the highest-rated and most watched series of the broadcast season, eclipsing NBC's This Is Us and CBS' Big Bang Theory — which had been in a heated battle for top status.

Corporate America will throw away tens of millions of dollars in order to virtue-signal against a single tweet!

You seem so easily triggered, delicate one. So quick to use words like “virtue-signaling.”

It’s not “virtue-signaling” to shut down creeping Trumpism. It’s taking a stand. One they should have taken before ever rebooting that nut’s show, but here we are now. You can’t liken an African American person to an ape, or imply that she’s a member of the Muslim Brotherhood just because she isn’t white. It’s stupid and racist and tacky and it should offend you, if not on human grounds, then on the grounds that she’s not funny.

The thing about evil is that people who are unapologetically inhabited by it inevitably let the mask fall. Being a closeted is quite torturous , they can’t help it but out themselves

I hope the individuals who will be adversely affected by the cancellation of this show weight their legal options . This is clearly her fault if they’re on the unemployment line any moment from now .

Yes it is. Firing Rosanne is virtuous.

I only wish they had fired Roseanne,maybe having her die off screen in opiad overdose, and kept the rest of the cast and crew.

Damnit. I was loving the show.

How much do I LOVE that I just learned that the decision to fire her was made by the black woman network head. After her black female producer quit.

In addition to being a racist POS, she is genuinely an idiot. Or thought that no consequences applies to people who aren’t Trumps.

She needs professional help. There's no way she's playing with a full deck right now.

It will be back. It was too successful to die over Roseanne’s idiocy. roseanne should be ashamed—and stop with the coke.

She immediately apologized to Jarret and the public at large, saying it was a bad joke. Yet monsters like Wolfe and SNL continue to spew venom and not a word of outrage. America is growing tired of the double standard.


Hmmm .... I missed the part where Wolfe and/or SNL made "jokes" that compare African Americans to apes - a grotesque and racist slur. Or Wolfe who despite zingers, never used racism as part of her humor or commentary.

Zero equivalence. Zero.


Accusing the President of running a child sex ring is pretty bad


No one accused the despicable of running a sex ring. Provide actual proof instead of Fox talking point, I dare you.

That hits her pocketbook too, right? She gets something from reruns as a producer?

Tom Arnold must be thanking his lucky stars that he escaped in time.
