Roseanne has virtually vanished from Twitter, hope she's ok.

She's been hanging out and appearing with Randy Quaid here and there.

She has made comments about X being a rough place for her ... the far left loonies attacked her relentlessly and, I read some of it, it was vicious nasty stuff.

To the question as to why Disney/ABC kicked her off of her own show ....

quote:

Roseanne Barr was fired from her show after posting a racist tweet about former Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett, in which she suggested Jarrett was the offspring of the "Muslim Brotherhood and Planet of the Apes." ABC canceled the show within hours, calling the tweet "abhorrent, repugnant and inconsistent with our values."

The incident occurred in May 2018, during the revival of the popular sitcom Roseanne. 

Barr later blamed the tweet on Ambien, claimed it was taken out of context, and has since expressed regret while also defending it as satire. 

She has accused ABC of a double standard, especially after Jimmy Kimmel’s return to the network following his own controversy, and has claimed the cancellation was influenced by political bias and sexism.

Roseanne has no filter and delivers great material.

Maybe to imbeciles

She said something about Valerie Jarrett and planet of the apes .

Thanks.

Did not know who she was so —- I challenge anyone to google Valerie Jarrett images and original planet of the apes images and not slightly smirk, cause she kinda nails it lols.

Of course I don’t think black people look like apes so I am not enraged and foaming at the mouth by such comments. Only people who truly believe black people look like apes would be acting as if you were screaming “stupid retard” in kids faces at the special Olympics ;)

Oh look another loon that hates anything conservative even when the truth of stats is out right in front of them. If Kimmel is SOOOO smart why is he losing money?? BECAUSE no one watches his dumbass that’s why.

FCC launches review of Disney broadcast licenses years ahead of schedule

This is how you do it ... come after them from all angles. Make life tough on them ... keep applying pressure.

The Federal Communications Commission is seeking an early review of Disney’s broadcast station licenses following concerns around the company’s diversity, equity and inclusion efforts, according to a letter from FCC Chairman Brendan Carr Tuesday.

The letter orders the company to file for early renewal for ABC-owned television stations and notes the action is related to an investigation into Disney’s DEI efforts, which began last year.

ABC-owned station licenses were originally up for renewal between 2028 and 2031.

Disney confirmed on Tuesday that it received the FCC’s order initiating an accelerated review of its licenses. The FCC said in the letter that Disney now has 30 days — or until May 28 — to file for the renewals.

“ABC and its stations have a long record of operating in full compliance with FCC rules and serving their local communities with trusted news, emergency information, and public-interest programming,” Disney said in a statement. “We are confident that record demonstrates our continued qualifications as licensees under the Communications Act and the First Amendment and are prepared to show that through the appropriate legal channels. Our focus remains, as always, on serving viewers in the local communities where our stations operate.” 

The FCC’s move to require early renewals from Disney comes as ABC faces renewed backlash from President Donald Trump this week following comments made by comedian Jimmy Kimmel in an opening monologue for his late night TV show that airs on ABC’s network.

Trump revived his push for ABC to take Kimmel off the air after the host of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” referred to First Lady Melania Trump as an “expectant widow” during the show last week, days ahead of an alleged assassination attempt at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.

However, the FCC, the federal entity that regulates the media and telecommunications industry, began investigating Disney’s stations last March for possible violations of the Communications Act of 1934 and the FCC’s rules regarding its prohibition on unlawful discrimination.

Since beginning its investigation, the FCC said that “Disney’s ABC has purported to respond” to two inquiries. Still, the agency said that it has determined further action was “appropriate.”

The order lists eight stations subject to the early renewal — three in California, as well as others in Illinois, New York, Texas, North Carolina and Pennsylvania — all of which are owned and operated by Disney. The call for early renewal does not affect Disney’s affiliates, which are operated by broadcast station owners like Nexstar Media Group.

Disney is not the only media company subject to an investigation surrounding its DEI efforts.
