No hypocrisy to see here folks
quote:

"Roseanne's Twitter statement is abhorrent, repugnant and inconsistent with our values, and we have decided to cancel her show," ABC Entertainment president Channing Dungey said Tuesday.

quote:

"I want to remind everyone about fundamental principles at ESPN." John Skipper on Friday afternoon sent a memo to ESPN telling employees to stick to sports talk on their social media platforms, which is company policy.

And they cant figure out why Solo is tanking at the box office. Life in a bubble, my friends. Complete and total bias

Yes.

They are a private company.

They can do what they want.

I'm pretty sure it was cancelled because of the terrible ratings

Because it sucked, though, right? That had nothing to do with her antics.

The cancellation was long after for ratings issues though.

Correct.

And Roseanne’s show was headed to terrible ratings.

This just gave them a reason to cancel earlier.

Channing Dungey is an American television executive who in 2016 became the first African-American president of ABC Entertainment Group. This also makes her the first black president of a major broadcast TV network

Yeah but she did turn off quite a few people. Including viewers.

Did it have terrible ratings or was it just "headed to terrible rating"?

I wouldn't say terrible, but they were declining each week.

And Wanda Sykes tweeted she was leaving the writing team, as did one of the actresses on the show. The show wasn't going to survive regardless of any action ABC did or didn't take in response to Roseanne's tweet.
