Mr. Gorrell why would you be watching ABC at all? Aren’t you supposed to be laser focused on State Run television? Don’t your “friends” in the morning tell you what you are supposed to think for the day? If something changes during the day don’t you have your “The five” and Lumpy to tell you what you are OUTRAGED! about in the evening?
If the Free Market takes care of all (and if you don’t think that I imagine your fellow conservative ’toonists will be sticking their pens in your back) then either the will of the Market is being respected or there will be a correction and the land shall overflow with replacement shows.
A network television show has to pay for itself with ad revenue; a single thoughtless, personal, racist, tweet, eliminated the sponsors wanting to be associated with something that offensive.
ABC, like most of the country, has been extremely tolerant of conservatives. But enough is enough. The racist, bigoted, misogynistic, homophobic and transphobic nature of conservative ideology has grown and festered far beyond a statistical aberration.
wait Wait. Looking back on Yesterdays comments ON THIS VERY PAGE SFCGATOR was telling me that Rosanne is not a Conservative. That she was a card carrying liberal and that ABC firing her was an example of the Leftest eating their own. So Which is it Gator, is Rosanne a Brave Conservative expressing her beliefs, Fired by the Liberal ( you would probably say Jewish) entertainment establishment? Or is she a communist ( you called her a communist ) espousing beliefs that the Liberals believe and she is just PRETENDING to be a supporter of Trump?Pick one , you can’t have both.
“You can say liberals are smug or out of touch — sometimes, they are — but if liberal myopia is all it takes to cause self-described conservatives to abandon their beliefs, then it’s doubtful those beliefs were held very firmly in the first place.
There was a time conservative and Republican voters made intellectual arguments — however much liberals and Democrats may have disagreed with them — that were issue-based and ideologically coherent. In the Trump era, that’s been replaced by a cult of personality and grievance.

Don’t confuse conservatism with hate-spewing racism and xenophobia.

I have to point out that ABC put that white conservative trash show on in the first place.
Do right wingers think they are immune from criticism for their lies, insults and racism?
My local ABC affiliate is owned by the fascist Sinclair company.

They let Roseanne have her show, it was her fault she couldn’t be a part of civilized society.

Because George F Will ceased to be a conservative one he preferred Truth over Trump.

Sure Bob. The Deep State decreed that Ms. Barr was just too conservative and must be silenced.

Thank you for recognizing that conservatives and racist bigots are the same thing.

“Entertainment channel Fox” has said they might resurrect the racist Roseann.
They know their audience.

So, does Gorrell support the “Pence wing” or the “Trump wing” of the GOP? Does he really equate racism and conservatism?

That’s funny, because ABC has long been the most conservative of the three major network news organizations.

In re: Conservatism, may it rest in peace

You can’t blame liberals for that."

Anything But Crackpots
Roseanne is still tweeting QAnon conspiracy nonsense. I haven’t seen anyone buying that crap, who isn’t full on MAGA.
If that’s what Gorrell says conservatism is now, I’m not going to argue.
