I hear they are digging up Murphy Brown and bringing her back.

Just got a news alert that supposedly it was for some “racist comment” she made?

Anyone hear or read that? Any idea what she allegedly said?

Has to be new, I thought I read that her show had just been re-upped for a second season already(?)....

Ah.

I shoulda just kept treading. Thx

But yea, if that’s so, that pretty dumb, and unnecessarily crass regardless of “intent”.

I’d fire her for unnecessary stupidity, 15 yds, loss of down.

Hate to say it. This is First amendment in action. She said it, at her own free will, and her bosses are punishing her.

It's not like she wrote something on a blog then claimed she was hacked.

Yeah, Rosanne was the #2 show in the ratings last week. Somebody will save it.

lol, that's sure to get her fired. I wonder if she had said something similar about Trump if the show would have been cancelled?

Woulda been a raise and extension if the latter.

She couldn’t possibly have thought she could get away with a dumb stunt like that, how could she think that was a good idea?

Then I agree, she should have been fired for insulting the ape.

That's exactly what I thought.

Cancel Roseanne because of a "racist" tweet but REHIRE that POS Olbermann. Guess you can throw around Nazi, profanity, and various other vulgarities as long as it doesn't include "race". Seems that the Mouse is guilty of a bit of a double standard and hypocrisy.

It would have made more sense to fire her for being intolerant and insulting to apes.....

Absolutely.

But I think its completely appropriate to call out the double standard

Should have gone with the hacking defense.

In before the, “Roseanne now speaks for everyone on the right”, idiocy from the leftists starts.

You can say whatever you want without worrying about jail time. I mean look at Tommy Robinson in the UK. He was jailed for free speech. She spoke her mind. She won't be going to jail. However her bosses can release her due to this. What's sad is they were probably looking for a reason.

Claim your account was hacked.
Apologize
Check yourself into rehab.
Come out claiming you've learned your lesson and are a better person.

The funny thing is that Roseanne Barr is not even a Republican. She voted for Jill Stein in the last presidential election.

First amendment doesn't protect you from being fired. Only not to be imprisoned for speaking your mind.
