Because in today’s modern society ABC/Disney cannot be seen doing business with Roseanne Barr after tweets like today’s. Advertisers would pull out in the hundreds. I do not think all Trump supporters are racists nuts, but’s it’s pretty clear Roseanne is one. She has a right to say and believe what she said, but it probably just cost her any chance at a role anywhere in the future.

Her show also didn't play for the "right side" in Hollywood.
If she were a raging, violent homophobe like Alec Baldwin, all would be good. In fact she would be promoted and given prime SNL spots.
Yet ABC keeps this lefty loon employed on ESPN - in fact, they gave him a raise and more screen time recently
Yep. This was directed at a conservative black woman. Response was a giant yawn. He plays for the right team, and now he's getting rewarded for it.

Do you realize that radical spewing Progressives like yourself is why the term 'racist' has such a reduced 'bite' these days?
Actual 'racists' in the US are about 3-5% of the white population.
Then there's another 25-30% of the white population that is 'insensitive.'
Of course, the 'insensitive' tag could be applied to a lot of the non-white population as well.
This is why your overuse of the term is falling more and more on deaf ears.
Dude, didn't you see the super scientific 25-30% figure that BS completely pulled out of his ass?
Sigh ... Progressives are able to out-hypocrite some of the worst Conservatives these days. And that is a tall order!
Conservatives: oh the lefties will hate that we Trump supporters finally have a voice in the media
Conservatives: watch out liberals, she might be racist like you call anyone who doesn't agree with you. Lulz

Roseanne: ******s need to go back to Africa
Conservatives: What about Keith Olbermann he uses bad words and stuff.

Jesus, you're a dolt. She deserved to have her show cancelled and never put back on air again for what she said.
As did Olbermann, but lefties love him and his hate is just part of #Resist!. Therefore Disney, who owns ABC and supposedly is hyper sensitive about not hiring vile personalities, is now putting that vile personality back on air in a flagship program.
NFL players are employees and need to do what their boss tells them or they should be fired
*2 months later*
They fired Roseanne for a joke?! What about her free speech?!

Olbermann called people who he doesn't agree with names. Not based on their race but based on their actions.
Oh, cool! So being a repulsive, vile degenerate is A-OK so long as you merely hate others for their political views. Got it!
Go Disney!
Disney is hypersensitive to anything that may lead to a boycott.
Do you realize that the biggest motivator for Roseanne speech today is her defense of Israel, not conservatism? As a jew, she is understandably sensitive to radical Islam. Beyond that, her political align more with Bernie Sanders than anybody on the right.
Yes, of course you authoritariphile. You can hate someone because of their ideas and actions but not because of their race. You can hate Obamacare but if you draw Obama as an ape like Ben Garrison it's racist. People are in control of their ideas so it's ok to dislike those ideas. It's not ok to dislike people based on their skin color. I can't believe I have to explain such a simple concept to you. Jesus.
I'm sorry, she's the voice of every day America Trump voter. This thread told me so.
Did she actually use the 'N' word?
And you wonder why Liberals, Libertarians and moderate Americans rank the US media and Progressives like yourself some of the most untruthful outlets and people around?!
Seriously, quote what she said ... do not demonize it to make it worse to fit an agenda.
Considering ...
I'd say the 'lefties' just showed how much 'control' they do have in the media.
Now imagine being an African-American or Muslim-American celebrity being held to that standard? Especially if they were #1 in their timeslot, and one of the highest rated shows on TV.
That's the one thing I do agree with the Conservatives on. There is a massive double-standard.

FC exposes himself as nothing more than a hyper partisan 10 year old troll yet again
When he posts stuff correct, I side with him. But he's posting total BS most of the time. No need to demonize things into what they aren't. Post the original statements.
He's basically the modern Progressive in-a-nutshell. And they wonder why Trump won?
In any case, the show is now cancelled. It's time to hold everyone to the same standard, especially when their show is #1. Oh wait, double-standards are still in effect. Sorry, nope.
The character probably is. Talking about every day struggles and making ends meet. You're convoluting the character with the person. The character didn't make those statements, the socialist person did.
I'm sorry, if you're going to say a black woman is half planet of the apes you might as well just say ******.
I'm not providing the news here you can look up the quote if you want, I'm reacting to what was said and the immediate spin from conservatives who said Roseanne spoke for the average Trump voter.
Roseanne the person is well documented in her support for Trump and attacks on Hillary. She accused Hillary of murder on twitter.
Do you understand that's why Progressives are becoming the biggest hypocrites? They fling crap at working men and women and it's the same level of insult?
In other words ...
"I'll tell you what Trump said, not what actually what Trump said."
You exactly represent why the US media's ratings are lower than Trump's, and even Congress'!
Are you really that stubborn and that think to miss his serious point?
Time to ignore ... spending 75%+ of his time demonizing, 15%+ of his time going off-the-deep-end, looking like a hypocritical Progressive, and only 10% of the time can he be calm enough, demonization-free enough to agree with.
I'm not the media. I'm allowed to interpret meaning from things that are said without any responsibility at all. I'm just a person. Did you have a source when you said 3-5% of white people are racists?
Do you understand the idea of context? There are 2 reasons that she supports trump: 1, because he is pro-Israel, and 2, because the Democrat party ran a corrupt fascist. For a person who doesn't want to see Israel wiped off the face of the map as their primary political motivator, it's no wonder she didn't like Hillary.
This thread is getting off the rails, but apparently Roseanne has legitimate mental problems (as if that wasn't obvious through the years)... she suffered severe brain damage in a car accident at the age of 16 and had to be institutionalized as a result. Nobody should be surprised by any of this.
She definitely went too far with her comments. Now if we could hold everyone else with a #1 show to the same standard, regardless of 'categorization.'
Keith Olbermann included. But we have an interesting 'value system' here in the US. No wonder Jewish-Americans get tired of it.

If anyone with any network show said what she said they would lose the show and if they were left wing they wouldn't find support in the waiting arms of their political allies like Roseanne has with yall.
Almost forgot about Joy Reid the homophobe. Yeap she still has a job at MSNBC. No double standard guys. Bigots on the left are treated the same way as bigots on the right, like Killary's "friend and mentor" KKK boss Robert Byrd.
Again, we have an interesting 'value system' here in the US.
Also, one can 'get away with' select 'discrimination' if one is a Progressive who uses select 'phrases' that 'protects' oneself.
E.g., "against my religion" is allows if you're a Presidential candidate, but not the President of Chick-fil-A.
That's why we true Libertarians, like true, critically thinking Liberals, have long called out Progressives on their double-standards.
Which is totally ridiculous. The owner of chik-fil-a isn't representative of the people and isn't asking to be. A politician doesn't fall under those same standards so they should be questioned and criticized about them. Roseanne is being held to higher account than Bush, Obama, or trump. Does that make sense?
And ... he said it on a Christian radio station -- talk about 'audience'! People went so overboard that when a Chicago city councilman said he might see about banning Chick-fil-A, even the ACLU had to step-in and publicly advised him that it was a personal view on a personal radio station.
Again, the double-standards of the US media shines through. The problem is that there are so few Conservatives in Entertainment now, that they are run out the first time they really go too far. Rosanne Barr definitely went too far, but she's hardly the first, especially against Progressives.
Hell, sometimes there's insults in assumption that comes from Hollywood and US TV constantly. But they are so 'patting each other on-the-back,' all while they are so ignorant, naive and insensitive, they insult all sorts of nationalities without even knowing it!
So when a 'racism' event in the US comes up in International media, they just 'look at the lefties' on TV and movies and go, "Yeah," not realizing it's Democratic registered voters they are talking about, and not the registered Republican voters that are being outsted.
Meryl Streep had a major attitude-fail in the EU a few months back about positive African representation in movies and media. She got all arrogant about how 'we represent you' and all sorts of things. Was it to the same level of Barr's comments? No. But it's how they act each and every day, without even being directly asked. And here they chronically failed -- at a 'diversity' event no less -- and it's common attitude.
Bill Maher dropped the N word and he still has a show.
He plays for the right team. All is good
