McCain on 'Roseanne' cancellation: ABC holds employees to higher standard than the White House
The Hill ^ | May 30, 2018 | Justin Wise

Posted on 05/31/2018 1:07:06 AM PDT by Trump20162020

Meghan McCain on Wednesday blasted President Trump while praising ABC's decision to cancel the sitcom "Roseanne," saying that the network "holds a higher standard to their employees than apparently the White House does.”

McCain made her comments on "The View" a day after ABC canceled "Roseanne." The network made the decision after the show's star Roseanne Barr sent a racist tweet about Valerie Jarrett, a former aide to President Obama.

"I’ve been so disheartened by what’s acceptable in the world right now, what’s acceptable in the White House," McCain said. "It’s refreshing to see someone take a stand and say 'No, not at ABC. Not at this company. This is not acceptable rhetoric.' "

She’s just carrying a jug of water for her network. She doesn’t matter a wit anyway.

Whoopi Goldberg used ABC to say (on the anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing) that the moon landing was fake.

Rosie O’Donnell used ABC to say that the 9-11 attacks were an inside job and that steel doesn’t burn.

Not for nothing, but just kind of a PSA from my own experience lately:

I’m convinced that you’ll drive yourself crazy following the news and what these morons they put on tv say every day. I’m not completely disengaged - I’m still here occasionally, but I gave up Twitter and watching TV and spending my time doing other productive things. I feel a LOT better.

Tv has really become a sounding board for deranged idiots. These are not people worth watching or caring about what they have to say. You wouldn’t concern yourself with the words of some lunatic on the corner spouting gibberish, and I’m convinced the only real difference in most cases is a shower and tv makeup.

These people don’t have any meaningful sway over public opinion anymore, and as they increasingly realize this, the more prone they are to spouting more inanities to get you to notice them. So don’t.

McCain’s much-vaunted terminal disease is a shrewd scam to elevate him as un-criticize-able.

At the very least his condition is exaggerated.

That f#cker will be with us screaming for all eight years.

Dont fall for this scam.

Why is this guy's every thought posted in the press every day while he sits on his deathbed? I call BS...my uncle died of the same type of cancer and he could not speak for months before his death. McCain is either dead already like one of those lesser known Soviet leaders before Gorbie and/or his sugar mamma is keeping their agenda out there until she can step in and take his place.

This is actually Meghan McCain who is chattering on. You know, third in line of succession for the McCain family Senatorial seat.

Where is the political cartoon of Condolezza Rice as a big lipped parrot? No outrage over that as I recall.
