what can I say? a walking caricature of the female Trumpist? Classic short sighted conservative "thinker"? Or mostly just another umemployed has been?
I think it’s a case of a double standard. Honestly how many vile shots have been taken towards this recent presidentancy and where have the reprocussions? I’m not saying I suport anything she said, but look at the bigger picture, in all honesty if you can. I doubt that you’ll be able to based on your use of Trumpist. But seriously pause, step back and look at what’s been said and going on. It’s bigger than you don’t like the present day president, but what’s going to happen when another president you support and someone says something? What happens when you are judged and hung by your Twitter post? Scary times we live in. Freedom of speech is out the window and politically correct is in full effect.
it's always great in these type of cases when people show they have no real understanding of what Freedom of Speech really is.
I don't think people get enough credit on this train of thought. People have been explained far too many times about the difference between constitutional freedom of speech and freedom of speech in terms of what's socially acceptable and the ramifications when those conventions aren't adhered to.
Freedom of speech has become the justification used when people wish to flaunt their intolerance or selfishness without fear of any repercussions. They get a free pass from the government on flagrant abuse of this right, they just want the world to have to smile while they preach why Arabs are all terrorists or Jews run the world.

Brief article on the NYT about why the network responded so quickly to cancel the show (someone on here complained that they decided too quickly and suggested it was a knee jerk reaction).
Wow. Just fucking wow. How did people like Trump and Rosanne Barr become the biggest thing in the news any more? Not all that long ago in our history, this shit would at least have been laughed at, ignored by most, or scorned by quite a few . What in the holy fuck has this world turned to?
And the called us freaks?

Well, to be fair, this isn't new. Roseanne was all over the news in the 90s too - the anthem was a massive story if memory serves. It was everywhere. Like front page news in some places.

What I mean is, pre-90's or even pre-80's. When you go back further than those decades, news was a much more newsworthy format. As the years and decades go by, "news" becomes more and more like those stupid "magazines" at the check out counter with headlines like, "Adam Sandler Found to be Half Human/ Half Martian". or "Madonna's Secret: Baby born with Three Heads".
I didn't follow the Barr thing back in the 90's- something to do with her spitting at a ball game, right? But this is what is called news today? Strange!

it's because of social media that news no longer comes from only videotaped or photographed incidents or witnesses. it comes from all corners of the globe now, more often than not, someone saying something for the world to see. everyone has a camera. everyone has a social media account where they say something they later regret. but there's always someone there lurking just waiting to take a screenshot.

This is all true but I think it has more to do with what people today accept as "news". Back in the 50's, Jackie Gleason portrayed that loud and obnoxious character, Ralph Kramden. But Gleason was seen as an actor and very few people cared what he had to say off-screen. Now, today, you have this situation where someone like Barr (who is also loud and obnoxious, both on screen and in real life) and people actually find what she says off-camera to be news worthy? That's really weird.

I would not have been surprised if Trump would have weighed in on this decision with veiled threats to try to get ABC to reverse the decision. That would have been no worse than his role in what's going on with the Nationalist Football League.

White House Condemns ‘Vile and Vicious’ Samantha Bee, Calls on Time Warner, TBS to Act
White House press secretary Sarah Sanders denounced Samantha Bee on Thursday after the comedian called first daughter Ivanka Trump a “feckless c–t.” Sanders also called on Bee’s bosses at Time Warner and TBS to take action.
“The language used by Samantha Bee last night is vile and vicious. The collective silence by the left and its media allies is appalling,” Sanders told TheWrap.
“Her disgusting comments and show are not fit for broadcast, and executives at Time Warner and TBS must demonstrate that such explicit profanity about female members of this administration will not be condoned on its network.”
Reps for both TBS and Time Warner did not immediately respond to request for comment from TheWrap.
Bee has faced mounting criticism for the jab, which was made as part of the opening monologue for her show “Full Frontal” on Wednesday night. The line was used as part of a broader criticism of the first daughter for her failure to stop her father’s immigration policies.
“Let me just say, one mother to another, do something about your dad’s immigration practices you feckless c–t!” said Bee. “He listens to you. Put on something tight and low cut and tell your father to f–king stop it. Tell him it was an Obama thing and see how it goes.”
The remarks from Bee come just days after Roseanne Barr’s program on ABC was cancelled by the network over a racially charged joke in which Barr said former Obama aide Valerie Jarrett had been the child of apes and the Muslim Brotherhood. Barr’s show was axed despite her decision to delete the tweet and offer a swift apology.
TBS has yet to announce what action, if any, will be taken to address Bee’s comments about the first daughter.

Apples and Oranges but I would imagine they would reprimand her in some way.
I also think 'First Daughter' is misleading. It paints a picture of a young girl who is an innocent bystander. For sure that would make this much, much, worse.
Ivanka Trump was a public figure long before Daddy Warbucks was voted into office.

no. had roseanne barr used that language, I wouldn't say she should have been cancelled either. racism is much worse than the c word.
the office of the president should never, ever, call for any private entity to do anything, but here we are again, them trying to dictate private corporations and how they should act.
that's up to the public and the private entity, not the office of POTUS. it's a disgusting abuse of power.
why didn't sara sanders come to the defense of Valerie Jarrett, I wonder.
no, I actually fucking don't.

Here we go, the White House's not so casual attempt at comparing a racist statement to derogatory name calling. Although in fairness, Sexy Rexxy was eventually fired, probably partly for calling a certain person a "fucking moron".
