If anything, this government is starting to become fascist with Trump as president, declaring something as "fake news," his rampant corruption and sexism, and declaring the 2016 fraudulent election as a "scam." The only thing he doesn't have control of is the mass media, but he's trying to do that by creating his own TV network.



What does this have to do with Tom Arnold? Your example is totally irrelevant. There's nothing biased about what the media has done or said about him. There's absolutely no comparison to Roseanne's racist remarks. That example is on a completely whole different level. There is no media bias here.

I brought up the Tom Arnold tweet as an example of the blatant hypocrisy of liberals. When a conservative tweets something offensive, they get vilified, and in Roseanne's case, lose their entire career.
Tom Arnold tweets to harass the President's underage son at his school and nothing happens to him. Peter Fonda tweets to lock the same kid into a cage to be raped by pedophiles and there's no liberal outrage. Why?! Is it not disgusting, horrifying and offensive when directed towards a conservative person?!
And it certainly IS relevant because this shows clearly the hypocrisy of the left in regard to Roseanne's tweet....which by the way was NOT racist. Saying you hate black people is racist. Saying black people are all bad people is racist.

What Roseanne tweeted was a joke and the only racism in it was what was viewed by racist people. Go to You Tube and you'll even see black people saying the same thing.





I think you're trying to say that the media is biased, which yes, it is, but it's not racism to declare something as racist. Stop trying to skew something as racist when it's not.

Again, Roseanne is not "racist". Declaring someone as racist when they're clearly not is wrong. There have been hundreds of times where black comedians make jokes at white people's expense...yet they're automatically labeled "racist". Why? Don't you find that questionable?


The president didn't even deny or confirm that Roseanne's racist, which truly was despicable, instead he made it ALL about him. He failed terribly, comparing things that ABC said about him, which weren't even racist.

If anything, he wasn't further dividing, he was opening the discussion that things in the media are biased, which is true, but his execution was all around poor.

I need to clarify that comment above. I was referring to the ABC president, not Trump. The president of ABC, a black woman took immediate personal offense to the joke and destroyed Roseanne.
She could have treated the incident much differently than she did. Opened a conversation with Roseanne and others. But rather than have a conversation and lessen the divide, she simply opened that divided chasm even further with instant firing. No if's ands or buts. It's the liberal way. Oh so tolerant they are right?

It's not about teaching a lesson, it's simply that racism isn't tolerated, period. What's scary is that people, like you, who justify racism as media bias, draw up media bias examples that having nothing to do with racism, declare racism where there is no racism, point out media bias where none exists, and fail to see that racism behavior is unacceptable and that it requires consequences, regardless of political party.

If racism weren't tolerated, then there would be consequences when those of color make offensive remarks towards those who are not. But that doesn't happen because in those cases, it's acceptable.

And there is so much media bias out there it's sickening. The entire MSM has become nothing but a liberal propaganda machine. Look at the current Time Magazine cover to see your media bias and photoshopped fake news.


We get it, you don't like her because she's a liberal. Nobody is asking you to like her.

I don't like her because she's a snake.

10 ways The Conners could write off Roseanne Barr's character
Here are some suggestions for handling a post-Roseanne Barr Roseanne spinoff, including: "Season 10 was Dan’s Ambien-infused dream." ALSO: Judd Apatow says Roseanne may be "crying out for help."

I said it in another thread, if Roseanne would have said the same thing against an African American Conservative an apology would have been enough if that. If she wasn't a Trump supporter and acted like she did back in the 90's nothing would have been said. I didn't like her tweet but the hypocrisy of ABC is just too much.

Some of these are funny, but would be a major betrayal to the show and the character. #9, the Kevin James Solution, is hilarious, but I sure hope it doesn't happen. #6, the Chuck Cunningham Solution, is not how I'd choose to write off any character.

I'd just write her off the way Three's Company wrote Chrissy off. Have her go visit her sick mother. lol

Bingo.

And it's not just ABC, it's the entire left, MSM, Hollywood. They're being more and more blatant and in your face about their hypocrisy, as if they're purposely challenging the other side to call them out because they know there won't be consequences for them. But there will be hell to pay if you're a conservative and offend. Their masks are coming off and they don't care.

Samantha Bee, Tom Arnold, Peter Fonda...all spewed out much more disgusting and offensive tweets after Roseanne's without any consequence.

Frankly I just don't watch many current shows anymore. I just don't like many people out in current Hollywood. My TV broke a month ago and I haven't really missed it. I'll get a new one before football season though. I usually just watch the classics and old time movies. I used to live for the new fall TV season but now it just comes and go. They don't really care about me anyway since I'm over 49.In fact I didn't even know about Roseanne being canceled or her tweet until I read it here. lol

The only TV in my house is 10 years old and when that breaks down i'm seriously thinking of not replacing it. I use a $5.00 pair of rabbit ear antenna for over the air channels and keep it continuously locked on classic channels like AntennaTV & GetTV.

I'd rather watch those great 20th century classic shows over and over daily than any of the modern crap airing the networks today. And lots of these old shows are free on You Tube so when the TV conks out, that's probably it for me.

I'm in the same age range as you and you're correct...they don't care about us anyway.

You don't watch TV anymore then and I'm assuming you cut the cord.
