This is one of the all time great corporate uses of social media in defense of their brand. It also sharpens the point:
The problem with Roseanne is not her racist, anti-Semitic and Islamaphobic beliefs; she has been clear about these for some time, and if they were the problem she would never have gotten another gig at ABC. The problem is her impaired judgment in sharing these beliefs while starring in a hit network show. She promised she would not do this, but could not keep her promise. I blame her poor mental health, she is trying to blame Ambien.
