Isn’t it “funny” how those among us who proclaim themselves to be the most tolerant are actually the least tolerant of us all?
FoxNews.com reports that
Following an intense discussion about race, a subsequent internal investigation and hiatus from air, Sharon Osbourne is officially out at “The Talk.”
The former reality star “has decided to leave” the long-running daytime talk show, according to a statement from CBS and obtained by Fox News on Friday.
The departure news comes a few weeks after a heated exchange between Osbourne, 68, and co-host Sheryl Underwood, in which Osbourne expressed support for Piers Morgan after he left “Good Morning Britain” over differing opinions about Meghan Markle following the Duchess of Sussex and Prince Harry’s bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey.
“The events of the March 10 broadcast were upsetting to everyone involved, including the audience watching at home,” CBS’ statement said.
It continued: “As part of our review, we concluded that Sharon’s behavior toward her co-hosts during the March 10 episode did not align with our values for a respectful workplace. We also did not find any evidence that CBS executives orchestrated the discussion or blindsided any of the hosts.”
On the March 10 episode, the co-hosts talked about Morgan’s previous statements about Markle, which many have deemed racist. Osbourne clarified during the interview, however, that she did not agree with Morgan’s opinions, but pressed Underwood to “educate” her about the racist undertones of his criticism of Markle, 39.
The former reality star would later claim that executives set her up for the damning conversation.
In their statement, CBS acknowledged that “network and studio teams, as well as the showrunners, are accountable for what happened during that broadcast as it was clear the co-hosts were not properly prepared by the staff for a complex and sensitive discussion involving race.”
Following the episode, the show went on hiatus beginning on March 15 in order to launch an internal investigation into the incident. The hiatus was initially only supposed to last for two days but was extended multiple times.
On Friday, CBS said that the hiatus has been extended once again for another week, during which, they will be “coordinating workshops, listening sessions and training about equity, inclusion and cultural awareness for the hosts, producers and crew.”
As of now, the show is set to return on April 12.
“Going forward, we are identifying plans to enhance the producing staff and producing procedures to better serve the hosts, the production and, ultimately, our viewers,” said the network.
The statement made no mention of who may replace Osbourne — if anyone. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Underwood, 57, and co-hosts Carrie Ann Inaba, Amanda Kloots and Elaine Welteroth will all remain panelists.
Trouble for Sharon Osbourne began after she expressed support for Piers Morgan when he questioned the legitimacy of claims made by Meghan Markle during her interview with Prince Harry and Oprah Winfrey.
Osbourne has also since faced accusations of using racially insensitive language herself when former co-host Holly Robinson Peete said on Twitter that Osbourne called her “too ‘ghetto’ for #theTalk…then I was gone.” Osbourne has denied the allegations.
A rep for Osbourne did not immediately respond to Fox News’ request for comment.
Every now and then, when I am taking my 15 minute break in the afternoon at work, the Break Room TV is on “The Talk”.
Of all the women on that program, I always found Sharon Osbourne to be the most levelheaded.
She always seemed to have retained her sanity and common sense, even after her long marriage to Hard Rock Legend Ozzy Osbourne.
Even now, when ol’ Ozzy has two brain cells left and they’re fighting to the death, Sharon is most definitely the anchor of her family.
So, how did “Wokeism” start?
All during the 2016 Presidential Campaign, the Democratic Party, along with those in “Showbiz”, through their minions in the Main Stream Media, assured us that it was a foregone conclusion that Hillary Clinton would be our 45th president.
And, when it did not happen, they lost their collective Hive-Mind.
“Wokeism” is Political Correctness run amok and is a byproduct of the Liberals grief and anger over Hillary’s loss, which eventually morphed into Trump Derangement Syndrome and spread to Liberal Resentment of all beliefs and traditions held by the majority of Americas.
As Liberal Democrats always do, by cancelling “Sharon Osbourne from “The Talk” over speaking her mind, they showed their own intolerances and fascism, which will cause their show to be rejected by Americans living in the Heartland who cannot stand “Woke” Liberals’ East and Left Coast Metropolitan hipness and savior faire.
Liberals only make up 24% of America’s population.
The majority of America’s population, especially those of us living between the coasts, could care less about the Liberal “god” known as “Wokeism”.
In fact, we view “Cancel Culture” as FASCISM.
Americans want to entertained when we turn on our televisions, not didactically lectured to through shows designed to amplify the effect that the Liberal Political Philosophy of relative morality and situational ethics which goes by the alias of “Political Correctness or ‘Wokeism'” has on our daily lives.
There is a reason that John Wayne remains the #4 most popular Movie Star in America all these years after his passing.
As profoundly demonstrated by average Americans’ reaction to the “Biden-Harris” Administration, average Americana still believe in the things that made our country great.
“The Producers of “The Talk” will pay for their hypocrisy in firing Sharon Osbourne while keeping Liberal Harpies on “the show who regurgitate the talking points of the Far Left Democratic Party day in and day out..
The irony of this display of hypocrisy is that if this “standing up for what you believe in”, in the name of “Wokeism”, emanating from the mouths of “the enlightened”, was coming from the mouths of Christian American Conservatives, it would be labeled as “hateful bigotry”…wouldn’t it?
