Your thoughts there are right on target. I agree with you.

Someone mentioned Bush and the ape jokes. Perhaps it was you. I’m tired and don’t remember.

That was a great thing to remind folks of too. Of course, not to mention the assassination movies and talk back then. I’m not Bush fan by any means, but that talk was way way way over the top > IMO.

Yeah that was me that mentioned the Bush monkey jokes and images online. Agree, not a fan of Bush but wishing he were assassinated is over the time.

I'm not interested in a Roseanne show (or a spin off) that doesn't have Roseanne in it.
No thanks.

In any case Rosanne didn't say anything racist. But MSM has never had a problem spreading a lie if it suits them.

This tweet didn't cause the cancellation of the entire show. Unlike Samantha's comment, it wasn't even made on the show. This cancellation was already in the works as revealed by the speed of the reaction.

No way was ABC going to tolerate a show where somebody says something that MSM strongly opposed.

Yet the MSM will never admit to that!

yes and I will not provide links (I would have to search too much)

I read that the people who were making these decisions were saying that the new season(s) would not be so political etc. etc. etc.
But Roseanne said she would be staying on course (or what amounted to that).

It seemed to me that the powers that be were looking to be taking control of Roseanne's show and making it something they liked better.

I'm sure that gilbert's show (which I believe has also been in the works behind the scenes) will be a big hit with that target audience.
The delicate ones who wet their panties over tweets.
but only certain tweets...
