ABC Cancels ‘Roseanne’

After a whirlwind of (new) controversy surrounding the actions of Roseanne Barr today, ABC President Channing Dungey released a statement saying: "Roseanne's Twitter statement is abhorrent, repugnant and inconsistent with our values, and we have decided to cancel her show." Short and to the point! Earlier today, Barr went on a Twitter rant (not her first, and unlikely her last) in which she referred to a former top Obama aide, Valerie Jarrett, by saying "Muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes had a baby=vj." She has since apologized and also said she was leaving Twitter: https://twitter.com/…
