I m not sure the fox network is part of that, I am certain Fox news is not

Correct, neither Fox News nor the Fox network are part of the deal.

It's weird when people defend racists... It's... Just... Weird....

Those are supposed to be Jews coming out of the oven....

Several years back, I posted a picture of a stickman being hung. It was meant as a joke related to the thread. The stickman was blue or red, but deffinatly not black.

You took offense to my joke, so I removed the picture.

I know you also meant your picture as a joke, put I still find it offensive

Would you do me a favor and remove the picture?

PS, I am not defending racists.
 
You want to defend the specific tweet that got Roseanne canceled?


Not at all. Nor would I defend any of the equally distasteful statements, either disguised as a joke or not, that the left parades as correct thinking about the right.
 
I grew up with Rosanne. I loved the show. I had great memories of watching it. The renewal had nostalgia but was too rife with politics. All the same it was interesting to see where the Connors were in todays world. I feel sorry for the rest of the cast. Out of Jobs because Rosanne can't keep her terrible thoughts to herself.

Hell, I can think of much worse things about VJ.

Great false equivalency...
 
You do know that not all people who work on those shows make a lot of money
I define poor as much more dire circumstances...most set workers and show staff are union...they'll work 5 minutes after a show ends on another show..union scale...not in the poor category at all
 
No one is saying that Roseanne can't say those things. Her twitter account is still active. But ABC does have the right not to be in business with her anymore. There is no thought police. Personally I thought what she said was pretty vile but in reading her twitter account she was on a rant for the last 17 hours where she kept posting more and more outrageous things because she loved the attention. Actions do have consequences.

But hasn't she always been like that? Why did they think it would be any different now?

This is completely constitutional on this country. All legal. Why should ABC get to fire her over free speech?

She's always been outrageous but I don't recall her being hateful.

But I never really followed her or her show. I do remember her doing TV commercials for Vons grocery store when I lived in LA. They were funny.

I can't imagine a white supremacist marrying Tom Arnold.

I guess I never really followed her that closely. The stuff she was saying was pretty fucking awful.
