Fox news roseanne

You're likely referring to the controversy surrounding Roseanne Barr's comments on Twitter and her subsequent firing from the ABC sitcom "Roseanne" in 2018.

In May 2018, Roseanne Barr tweeted a racist comment about Valerie Jarrett, a former advisor to President Barack Obama, saying that Jarrett was the product of what would happen if the Muslim Brotherhood and Planned Parenthood had a baby. The tweet was widely condemned as racist and anti-Semitic.

As a result, ABC canceled the show "Roseanne" and announced that it would be replaced with a spin-off series, "The Conners," which would focus on the Conner family without Roseanne's character. The spin-off premiered in October 2018 and has been well-received by audiences and critics alike.

Fox News, which is a conservative-leaning cable news network, has been criticized for its coverage of the controversy surrounding Roseanne Barr. Some critics have accused the network of downplaying the severity of Barr's comments and defending her as a victim of political correctness.

In the aftermath of the controversy, Fox News hosts such as Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham defended Barr, with Hannity saying that she was being "lynched" by the media and Ingraham calling her a "victim of cancel culture." Other Fox News hosts, such as Tucker Carlson and Jeanine Pirro, also defended Barr, with Carlson saying that she was being unfairly targeted by the left and Pirro calling her a "patriot."

However, not all Fox News hosts defended Barr. Some, such as Neil Cavuto and Bret Baier, condemned her comments as racist and anti-Semitic, and argued that they were unacceptable and harmful.

Overall, the controversy surrounding Roseanne Barr's comments and her subsequent firing from "Roseanne" highlights the ongoing debate about racism, political correctness, and the role of media in shaping public discourse.
