he tweeting a thought, is not exactly the same thing as having someone silenced, using the weaponized powers of the U.S. Government of which he is the most absolute representative.
To compare the two really is a definition of insanity.
A lot of you are going wayyyy overboard, defending the actions of Samantha Bee. As of last night, her ratings are less than half of what they were, and most of her advertisers are gone. Ironically, no conservative talk shows are calling for her firing, although many are pointing out the double standard, involving Rosanne.
The Access Hollywood Tape was recorded in private (not on live T.V. using a teleprompter and released on national television after its actual recording as the Access Hollywood was never intended to be aired) and was not calling ANYBODY anything and was not directed AT anyone— and was made over eighteen years ago. Another insane comparison.
It could go either way for Samantha because it was directed against members of the Trump family, which helps her case a lot.. She’s damaged the network and her audience’s approval enough, hwever. But if it had been directed against anyone other than the Trump family she’d be gone by the next morning.
