Channing Dungey, ABC Entertainment president, has resigned her post over the Roseanne debacle.
Dungey became the first black American president of a major broadcast TV network when took she over the top post in 2016.......
She stupidly announced the cancellation of rerun mega-hit Roseanne after Barr posted a tweet about Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett.

DUNGEY: “Roseanne’s Twitter statement is abhorrent, repugnant and inconsistent with our values, and we have decided to cancel her show” she said at the time.

Who's sorry now,eh?

She was the one who cancelled Last Man Standing or, at least she took credit for it.

“I canceled Last Man Standing...ABC Entertainment president Channing Dungey told reporters Tuesday...”

Trump should award the ABC patent monopoly over to the Tea Party. ABC did not earn it.

Wonder if this is the same guy who dropped “Last Man Standing” from ABC.

Yep. She made that "bold decision" as well.

ABC Entertainment President Channing Dungey:

Couldn’t possibly be that she was fired because she’s incompetent and cost ABC millions of dollars.

Get ready for Dunghey’s the ol’ “Pay-Me-I’m-A Victim” ....a BET rerun.......

The real problem goes far beyond Channing all the way up to Iger and apparently the majority of Disney top execs who are zealots that have throughly politicized the company. I wouldn’t be surprised if one of them ordered the hit and Channing is just the fall girl.

She was indeed the person who cancelled both Roseanne and Last Man Standing, as well as losing two of their top Creators/Producers. They were trying to build a "universe" around Shonda Rhimes' "Greys Anatomy" like NBC did with "Chicago Fire/Med/PD". They are last place in ratings and she has been a unmitigated disaster. There is no doubt she is being fired, but they are handling it carefully because she is a double protected class.

The commercials and first episode of Last Man Standing on Fox were hilarious with all the digs they got in on ABC. Somehow, though, I doubt ABC’s shareholders were amused.

If so, how much?

Since when does “bold” equate to “stupid”?
