The same company that made cartoons for kids

Mister-Jr

The Walt Disney Company.  

Sometimes it's difficult for me to believe, from Mickey, Minnie, and Goofy to Roseanne Barr.

I view it as a reflection of whatever happened to Americans.

I'm not sure what you are talking about, the program had very high ratings.

You know exactly what I’m talking about.

The show was popular and she had not went off on a stupid tirade.

When she no longer fit the company image, they dumped her. 

I don't understand the false outrage.

well I do really, it is you.

Trying to save face..

ABC Entertainment President Channing Dungey said in a statement, “Roseanne’s Twitter statement is abhorrent, repugnant and inconsistent with our values, and we have decided to cancel her show.”

hahahaha

The truth about some segments of American society is not pretty.

Well, Disney also produced Zootopia, a disgusting political correctness manifesto, probably the worst stuff Disney has ever made in almost 100 years. Real garbage in particular because directly addressed to kids.
The Barr's "scandal" is less than nothing in terms of social damages compared to Zootopia, but Zootopia won the Oscar (guess why), Barr has been fired.
Nowadays any company must abide the political correctness dictatorship to survive, very very sad.

Maybe I'll have to check it out over the weekend.  Lots of awards.

A well done product (as usual for Disney), nothing to say about that.
But the subliminal messages are a shame. Political correctness at its state of the art, disgusting.

Finfinder

You can analogize Disney to a drug dealer.    They target your kids get them hooked for life.

So you think blatant racism is not being politically correct? You have zero credibility.

Disney lost its way along time ago - or maybe they found their way.
It all depends on your view of things.

I missed this.

Is there any news source that has decent coverage of what happened?

Not really a big fan of network television, so I didn't catch the show, but I heard it was doing well.
