Cancelling Roseanne IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH!!!!

[maxrandb]

The simple fact that this cretin...this waste of human skin...this deplorable piece of amphibian shit EVEN HAD A SHOW on our Air Waves was a fucking affront to all that is decent.

Call me when ABC and the other fucking networks begin cancelling Hannity, Limbaugh, Savage and the thousands of other cookie-cutter hate fuckers on their radio affiliates.

ABC should not get a fucking pass for trying to normalize this disgusting, putrid excuse for what passes as "conservatism" and "political discourse"

There is a huge difference between "debating the conservative and liberal side of policies", or debating political disagreements and CALLING SOMEONE A FUCKING APE, OR A MURDERING RAPIST because they happen to have a different political view.

ABC tried to "normalize" Donnie Short Fingers. They get no fucking pass from me for doing so.

1. ABC can't cancel Hannity, Limbaugh and Savage. They don't work for it.

Hannity works for Fox; Limbaugh works for Premier Radio/iHeart Radio; and Savage works for Cumulus Radio, which once was but no longer is part of the old ABC Radio network.

2. Maybe that's my mistake

But don't ABC, CBS and NBC have radio affiliates that carry the hate-talkers?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. I don't know how that works.

4. ABC, CBS and NBC are all generally out of the radio ownershp business

ABC and CBS provide news programming to radio stations, but those stations aren't "affiliates" of ABC and CBS in the same sense that ABC and CBS have television station affiliates that receive network programming exclusively from one of those networks.

7. New York City

Has WABC 770 and WCBS 880 - NBC was replaced by WFAN, an all sports station in the early 90s. I'm pretty sure 770 and 880 are dominated by RW radio hosts.

9. I might be wrong - but doesn't Sean Hannity Radio broadcast from the WABC Radio studios in NYC?

I think...

[NewJeffCT]

10. and Rush Limbaugh, I believe

if i'm not mistaken

[oberliner]

12. That's owned by Cumulus Media

Disney/ABC sold it quite some time ago.

[onenote]

13. WABC is owned by Cumulus; WCBS is owned by Entrecom

They just kept the call signs.

14. Those radio talk hosts don't work for ABC

They used to be on WABC radio in New York but it wasn't owned by ABC any longer. It is owned by Cumulus Broadcasting now. WOR is where Rush is located as well as Hannity. I think that is owned by iHeart Media now.

5. I can't fathom praising ABC in this matter. nt

6. They hired that piece of shit

knowing full well she is a piece of shit and tried to tell us the shit was chocolate ice cream. We'd like it if we tried it. Shit does, what shit does and stinks up the room. They were shocked when the piece of shit stunk. Now they are left with trying to shovel the shit out.

This is a disaster of their own making.

8. However

The writers, Sarah Gilbert, John Goodman, Laurie Metcalf, John Galecki and others were never on the Trump train. Other than sending Roseanne off to opioid rehab for a season they did the best they could with her at the helm. I enjoyed the show for it's run.

11. Glass always empty is not a winning goal.
