What's sad is that would have been tolarated back in the 90s. ABC would have move the show to different time slot and life would have gone on.

If they treated all things equally, a lot of shows would've never been.

Btw, what can be considered "inappropriate behavior" is wholly subjective.

The View doesn't "defame" 45. Pointing out his lies, ignorance of history or the Constitution, and complete incompetence, is NOT defamation. Making jokes, rooted in the truth, is not defamation, either.
Calling someone the product of the Muslim Brotherhood and an ape is not only racist, it's also a lie.
There is no "double-standard" here.
What it is are people not understanding the difference.
Another case in point: Samantha Bee called Ivanka Kushner a "feckless cunt". Just because she used the word "cunt", some people are losing their minds. In truth, they're just focusing on that and not the fact that it was a true statement. She IS feckless. It's a shame so many people don't understand what that word means.
The comment wasn't racist because it wasn't about race, like Roseanne's was.
Bee shouldn't have apologized. She didn't lie.

I'm not going to censor anyone. Especially when they're telling the truth!
Tell lies and it's a whole different deal.

Racism is ignorance & the worst evil under the Sun. I never watched her ugly show.

Its what made America Great Again. We are the stage of Racist, Bigoted and Hateful People who like Guns, Nazi Rallies and Prostitutes who are the only ones telling the truth. Slaughter and Guns allowed everywhere except the NRA Convention while the infrastructure of America is crumbling. The only thing we can be sure of is what Golf Course will make the headlines while innocent students are being buried as a result of some senseless slaughter. Roseanne figured if making fun of disabled people was acceptable then whats a few racist slurs for which she was as popular as on stage as whats been viewed during the past year. I'm waiting for Dylan Roof to be up for a Presidential Pardon.

Maybe let the viewers decide. If viewers are offended they can write letters to sponsors or just not watch. I never watched Roseanne and never would because I know what she believes. My choice. I watch Colbert and Samantha Bee and others like The View who get offensive at times and I don't want them removed. Ratings rule. I can see where inciting violence or raciest comments pass a norm though. Norms have been destroyed by this administration and hopefully some type of norm will be resurrected in the future and we can again just say: "Now that's improper."

Orangespeak I reckon.

No comparison. It's like comparing apples to the Orange one. ☺

This post wasn't about either TV show. It was about how we justify (or don't) unethical behavior in all segments of our society. #deepermeaning

I don't think on the View I ever heard anyone get called a monkey, ape Muslim etc. Joy Behar has called Pence evangelical Christians mental cases. I call them cults.. Roseanne was written by liberals. . Take her out of it, keep the rest. All good actors and actresses.

I hadn't watched it because of her, never intended to.

How was the View comparable?

"Roseanne" normalized racist, bigoted and crude behavior by white Trump supporters.

I feel delighted that ABC canceled the show.

Agreed. Glad they canceled the show!

But Trump said!,,, lol
