Roseanne Barr tweeted a racist slur on an adviser of Obama. Samantha Bee referred to Ivanka Trump as a "feckless c***," on-air!
Barr apologised. Bee apologised.
Barr got fired, along with all her co-stars and co-workers behind the scene (show cancelled). Bee got off scott-free. Apologists for Bee say, it's not the same.

Never mind that innocent casts and co-workers were penalized, they'd lost their incomes over ABC's decision. They're casualties of this irrational climate we live in now. Couldn't they have simply fined Barr?
Apoloigists say:
Barr had randomly tweeted racist comments over the years. Isn't this the same one who'd used vulgar language, and vulgar gestures (crotch-grabbing).

Have they considered the mental health of Barr?
The apologists say, Bee is a stand-up comic. But Barr is a comic, too!
Bee's platform for comedy may target Trump and his policies.....but, why should that make her any different than any other comic?
In other words, Bee is being given a pass............because her target is Trump!
There! There is your bias!
