‘Double standard at play’? Disney gives Roseanne the axe, but THIS ‘PIG’ still has a plum TV gig?
twitchy ^ | 5/29/18

Posted on 05/29/2018 12:38:30 PM PDT by SoFloFreeper

As Twitchy told you, ABC Entertainment has axed the “Roseanne” reboot over Roseanne Barr’s “abhorrent, repugnant” tweet...if ABC is going to cite “abhorrent, repugnant” tweets as the basis for canceling a show or terminating talent’s employment, why did Keith Olbermann just get an expanded role at ESPN? Both ESPN and ABC fall under Disney’s umbrella, but Olbermann gets a plum job and Roseanne loses hers?

Double standard? Does a bear . . .

But haven't we known about that for 50 years?

Rosanne Barr has been sounding the clarion call via her tweets about sex trafficking and pedophilia.

Getting a little too close to the traffickers in the top levels of Disney and gAyBC....

We all know about the LEFT’s double standards.

I don’t complain about them anymore. I have had more than my share of Howard Beale( I am mad as hell and I wont take it anymore) moments.

I just refuse to fund them. No cable tv. Generic/local purchases as much as I can.

I refuse to buy the rope they want to hang me with.

Valerie Jarrett is EVIL INCARNATE! Take THAT, ABC and Bob EIGER! Eiger probably LOVES Muslims and Hates his fellow Israeli Jews!

Anyone interested in Saving about $100 per month and whacking ABC/ESPN/Disney at the same time?

If so follow this simple 4 step process!

1. Cancel your Cable or Satellite service, that will save you at least a hundred to two hundred+ $’s per month.

2. Sign up with Sling Blue as your tv provider. Sling Blue will cost about 25$ per month. It does not carry ABC/ESPN nor Disney. So you will not be sending any of your hard earned after tax’s to the maggots at ABC/ESPN each month.

3. Send a note to the cable/satellite company explaining why you cut their service.

4. Start a monthly donation to Free Republic with some of your savings and thank Jim for the real news 24/87.

Obviously, ABC doesn’t like winning.

If Roseanne Barr had said the exact same thing about Ben Carson or Clarence Thomas that she said about Valerie Jarrett, not only would her show still be on the air, it would have been renewed for another two seasons already — and every “woke” “progressive” would be fervently defending her. No question about it.

The left calls President Bush a “smirking chimp.” Wanda Sykes calls President Trump an orangutan. Bill Maher calls him the son of an orangutan. All peachy keen by the lefties.

Joy Behar, Joy Reid, Stephen Colbert, Jimmy KLimmell, and the like say vile things almost nightly and nobody is supposed to say a word.
