Interesting that Roseanne hasn’t said anything. Or, if she has, that nobody has reported it.

ABC fired Roseanne Barr for something she didn’t even say on-air. At least they’re consistent.

There you have it!

The left can stop crying, now.

But, we know they won’t.

Roseanne Barr
@therealroseanne

Because they aren’t the same. I wasn’t fired for lying I was fired for telling the truth about the Iran deal and slandered into oblivion. This will still be worse for our side than theirs. Kimmel will get an entire PR tour to clear his name with the backing of all media.

Not one person complaining about Jimmy Kimmel getting fired from ABC defended Roseanne when she got fired by ABC

No they won’t. They’ll continue to cry like a 4 year over a dead goldfish.

Jack Paar. When Jayne Mansfield was a sensation in the news and movies along with magazines and pinup calendars, she made a long awaited appearance on the late night Jack Paar Tonight show.

On the spur of the moment he had an inspiration and ad libbed:

“Here they are, Jayne Mansfield.”

“… while free speech is protected from government interference, it does not shield individuals from the consequences imposed by employers, advertisers, or the broader marketplace.”

This is so obvious when reading the 1A yet it seems no liberal can fathom this concept. Guess they suffer from nuance blindness…

Kimmel's situation is not a free speech crisis. It's a reminder that with every microphone comes a measure of responsibility—not just to the truth or to the art, but to the business that foots the bill.

The first amendment prevents laws against Free Speech.

It applies ONLY to the government.

I used to have to have this conversation with new employees. They thought it applied to the workplace. That was funny.

I have read where the government told the networks to shut down “violent” TV shows such as the Wild Wild West in 1969.

The Rat Patrol and a lot of other shows like it also.

I really don’t understand your point. Yes, it is a vanity, and it is clearly marked as such. There is nothing in the post to indicate “everybody does it” it is to show there is nothing new with what the network is doing with Kimmel.

I gave a brief background, and then a reminder that the first amendment is not restricting businesses from censoring. This is a forum for us to share opinions. Well I guess you shared yours so see how that works.

I am sorry you missed the point, I will try better in the future to make it clearer.

Wishing you a very good day.
