Thread for obviously newsworthy stuff

Even FOX is reporting that it's a fact that Rosanne is racist. I might blow my brains out after all Dinner.

Perhaps it had to do with the fact that this wasn't the first time, she compared a black woman to an ape.
She already did so in 2013 with Susan Rice

(well, more exactly, to a "man with big swinging ape balls")

On the other hand I have to admit that it seems like she wanted Zimmerman (the murder of this black teenager) to be persecuted and put into prison and even posted Zimmermans address when this didn't happen.
Vox has researched her long and complicated Twitter history:

She called someone a cross between a Islamist and a Ape (non-human).

CBS must have thought Colbert was still a good bet to make them money.

For an advocate of free speech and captalism you sure don’t seem to like how either works....

CBS are hypocrites and they don't care abouts gays. They don't care about black people or anyone else. They only care about money and power. Yes I believe in freedom. I also believe in decency.

Funny that Kid bemoans Roseanne getting axed but hopes Netflix is destroyed for having Obama.

Rosanne is not dangerous. She just hurts people's feelings. If Obama was just hurting peoples' feeling I wouldn't boycott Netflix.

That's the problem when your hustle is successful and goes to your head. Lose sight of "The Code."

I don't think she obeys "The Code." That IS her hustle.

The last president that got as much abuse as Trump was Nixon, and that only took off when he lost the respect of most Americans. Trump never had respect... he was/is the Andrew Dice Clay of presidents: he's proud of his infamy. I suspect he'll have his own public breakdown too once he's indicted.

Putin kills another journalist. It appears daring to criticize Putin is a death sentence in Russia. He'll, the guy fled to the Ukraine and the KGB still assassinated him.

What exactly did she do? Something off-set? Is she the writer/director of the show as well and is therefore blamed for all the content?

I did not read all the above posts carefully, TBH. Age is slowing me down at alarming rates.

Yah, I wish I could make perfect decisions too, I’d own the world by 5pm. Actually, that would be a mistake, as I’d be killed by 6pm. Instead Id retire to my private island (opps typhoon) make that mountain hideaway (oops volcano) make that ... I have no idea what Id do ... which is kinda the point.

Ideally everyone gets to determine the level of risk they are willing to accept. I don’t see a problem here?

The uncertainty about the risk is high enough that they might actually be making a bad decision financially, which means they're being poopy capitalists. /me shrugs. They're perfectly within their rights to do this and I understand why they're doing it.

Did you even watch the show? I have many times and it was really tame and still mostly respectful. It just shows the bias of the business. You can call the president an orangutan as long as he's a republican. (as funny as I usually find it) Everyone makes fun of FOX for it's bias but have no problem trashing Trump at every turn. It used to be better than that.

Why would I need to watch a TV show to know that people like to make money?
