So it's come to this. Roseanne, who only a few weeks ago took the country by storm with her new series rocketed to very high ratings numbers, got the ax today from Disney. The trouble stemmed when Roseanne tweeted ""Muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes had a baby=vj." directed at Valarie Jarret.
The tweet that Disney felt was "abhorrent, repugnant and inconsistent with our values"
But, from the point of view from someone like myself who does not watch broadcast TV very often if ever, the whole thing seems like a huge propaganda stunt for whining lefties still butt-hurt about HRC not winning the election. And, Disney seems to have placed themselves in a dire position. This is because, while the tweet is vile, it is also from a person who has a history of satire. And by the letter of the law, media that has established itself as having satirical content is immune from being sued for libel. On top of that, Roseanne, a stand-up comedian who can dispatch hecklers with her razor sharp wit and quick mental reflexes, stated it was a joke.
Technically, as someone who engages in satire professionally, Roseanne's firing could cost Disney a boatload of money. Disney is in error for firing her based on her historic and constant use of humor. And also, having her explain it was a joke, shows just how over-sensitive the bubble of left-leaning SJWs have become.
In a rare act of contrition, Roseanne later apologized for the whole thing. But, it seems the SJW uproar was too much for Disney to bare.
Of course once again looking at this from the outside, these other tweets seem to have got the attention of someone. And, knowing what we know about the Evil Emperor himself, I would assume George Soros had something to do with the decision to fire Roseanne. It is Roseanne Barr after all who proved to the left leaning media that a huge majority of Americans do not want to be force-fed a liberal agenda.
This tweet came out during the same time that the infamous Valarie Jarret tweet was made. Did Disney get a call from the Evil Emperor George Soros that knocked them off the fence?
Was this logical observation worthy of scorn?
This tweet calls out the entire conspiracy being conducted against Americans. Was this tweet the real reason Roseanne got canned?
Granted, the tweet she made is pretty rough. But, lets think about how Roseanne started her career. She started out as a stand-up comic when there were not many women in comedy. And the numbers of women who submit themselves to the brutal process of rising up through the ranks of stand-up comedy are small even today.
And if you've ever been to a comedy club, you will know how fiercely you will get owned if you ever have the bad idea of trying to heckle the comedian on stage. So, when you consider Roseanne has been on stage in comedy clubs, the question I want to know is who prompted Roseanne to make her hard edged even racist joke? Did Roseanne simply reach out and tweet this at random? Or was she targeted by people who knew they could coerce her to lash out with something horrible the way she would if she was handling a heckler at a comedy club?
Suspiciously missing from Twitter now. One of the accounts tweeted to from the "Planet of the Apes", insult no longer exists. Was this account a psyop aimed at Roseanne in an attempt to infuriate her?
Roseanne should be getting calls from someone who accepts the apology she made about the Valerie Jarret comment. The reason this will happen is money. ABC was looking for a solid addition to their lineup. And Roseanne gave them 30 million viewers a week. And in an era when ratings numbers are hard to come by as many viewers use VOD and DVRs, it stands to reason another major player will step up and take on Roseanne.
