The suspension of Kimmel recalls ABC’s past action

The network that canceled Roseanne Barr’s sitcom in 2018 faces a new storm.
JORDAN STRAUSS Invision/AP ROSEANNE Barr's racist tweet in 2018 prompted her firing.
The hugely popular star of ABC's lineup was known as an outspoken critic of the president of the United States. But when one comment sparked an outrage, the network moved swiftly to yank the entertainer off the air.
It was May 2018, and the star was Roseanne Barr.
Hollywood reacted in on shock when ABC abruptly pulled the plug "Roseanne," the top-rated reboot of the sitcom about the Conner family and their struggles with harsh economic difficulties. Barr's reunion with her TV family was an instant hit, becoming the most successful series on the network in years.
The cancellation came just hours after Barr posted a response to a tweet about a WikiLeaks report claiming that the CIA spied on French presidential candidates during the Obama administration. The comedian made a reference to Valerie Jarrett, a former aide of former President Obama, as the offspring of the Muslim Brotherhood and the "Planet of the Apes" film franchise.
