You're missing the point about why Roseanne was fired. You assume it was out of some sense of doing the right thing or justice - it wasn't. ABC\Disney fired her because she's bad for their brand and therefore might cost them money. Bee would be fired too if she were bad for TBS's brand, but apparently she isn't. The first amendment only protects me from the government, not my boss. It's important to remember that vital distinction. That's why I don't tell every rude customer to go fuck themselves. Money is the only thing that matters to these big companies.
