ABC decided that as a business, they do not want to accept the financial consequence of being aligned with such a woman, as a Libertarian you should agree and understand their reasoning to cancel her show.

Never said ABC didn't have the right to fire her. My objection was to the current culture of complete snd absolute destruction of someone and anyone axnd any business associated with them, over a medium which can't exibit context or intention.
As for Roseanne's diatribe being deemed racist, whether I agree or not - according to what exactly? Who deemed it so? The court of public opinion does not meet my standards.
