A bad joke is now grounds for corporate retribution.

The liberals who run ABC are the ones who are intolerant.

Keep in mind that in our snowflake culture, the greatest offense is to hurt someone’s feelings.

That’s not about punishing alleged racism and what ABC did is out of line with the alleged offense.

But they run a business and they have the right to termninate their relationship wth Ms. Barr without having to give a reason.

That they do, but what they apparently fail to realize is that those of us who watch television have a “right” to tune our televisions to other channels. On that note, I have to believe that, for some of these companies to knowingly destroy their ratings, i.e., revenue, they must have a very tolerant board of directors or funding from other sources.

Yes, they do. And had they done so, they would undoubtedly have faced less criticism.

When they give a reason that insults our intelligence, that's rude. They deserve all the flack they get.

I Don’t see why this is so offensive. Is it just me or did anybody else think the Zira character From planet of the apes was kind of attractive.
