Well, that didn't last long did it?
In a previous blog, I mentioned how I admired her anti establishment attitude even though I never saw the show and I had zero desire to start watching it. She shot her mouth off with an angry and vile Tweet and now ABC immediately canceled the show. Anyone who knows anything about the internet age could see it coming, and let it be a lesson to everyone.
Yes, there is a double standard. Trump supporters are under much closer scrutiny than those who are part of the elite establishment. Unless your sin is grave (like what Kathy Griffin did) you need to accept that everything you do will be magnified and jumped on. Her true crime, aside from being angry and tactless, is not understanding the world we live in. Her naivety was shocking.
Of course, if this was someone you agreed with and she said something about someone you disagreed with, you'd be much more willing to forgive her. That's the second double standard that we are dealing with today, and it's much more common. Much more repulsive too, because that's an issue you can actually do something about.
