28. ABC doesn't care - they, and entertainment media, have been covering for her

Mar 2018

scrubbing her accounts of her past retweets of white supremacists, Alex Jones and the like. Hiding her Pizzagater posts, her birtherism and Seth Rich trooferism.

She pushed things like a debunked smear of Fareed Zakaria, falsely claiming he posted on CNN's site for muslim to rape white women (complete horses hit - check snipes), but instead, we get gushy covers like these, a trailer during the oscars and her Trump advocacy explained away on Kimmel with a bullshit "working class" angle:





There's a lot of money invested in this show, and the network is going to do its damnedest to whitewash the racist conspiracy theorist that she is and try to make it into a fluffy "both sides" sitcom.

Rather than the reality:

(actual photoshoot from her feed)

Fuck Goodman and Metcalf for taking part in this normalization of hate. And especially fuck Sarah Gilbert for initiating this reunion - I guess a career in the toilet and being stuck on a shit knockoff of The View leads you to throw your dignity and supposed openminded principles out the window.

And where the hell have the "left" media been during all of this? HuffPo and Think Progress couldn't wait to tear down Al Franken, but have ignored ABC bringing a white supremacist into primetime.

Grounds for her damn show to be shelved and never heard from again...... a kennedy Mar 2018 #1
