CBS says 'The Talk' staying off air after Sharon Osboure racism talk

Welcome to Witch Hunt Culture.

Welcome to Witch Hunt Culture.

It's all about the feelings. 17th-century Salem seems like the very paragon of judicial due process compared to the cancel culture of today.

From reading, her statement was in support of a friend, Morgan, being allowed to have an opinion. Nothing more. Cancel culture doesn't think all opinions are allowed, just the "right opinions" which match theirs.

It's all about the feelings. 17th-century Salem seems like the very paragon of judicial due process compared to the cancel culture of today.

To be clear, your view is that a television show being put on hiatus for an additional week is worse than women being burned alive for being accused of practising magic, a thing that isn't real. Have I got that right? A TV show being on hiatus is worse than being burned alive?

Help! We can’t find the ‘headlined’: alleged “Sharon Osboure racism talk” (Read the article 3 times)

Her contribution to the show’s current controversy is marginal at most: ”*fellow host, Underwood, who is Black (in the manner written by the author) asked Osbourne, “what would you say to people who may feel that, while you're standing by your friend, it appears that you gave validation or safe haven to something that he has uttered that is racist, even if you don't agree?” “Osbourne replied angrily, using words that were bleeped out, and felt like she was being placed on “the electric chair” *for having a friend that some people think is racist.” “Osbourne said to Underwood, “don't try to cry. If anyone should be crying, it should be me.”

Of course, “discussion continued after a commercial break.” - sponsors are paying for this stuff.

As far as we can see, the ‘self-described’ “journalist(?)” muckraking an MTV show from 20 years ago for ANY possible, relevant content for this story is not a ‘professional’ journalist at all:

‘*Yashar Ali’ Hedayat *NEVER went to journalism school. At most, his connection to “Entertainment’ was as a ‘production assistant’ for some rival NBC tv shows in his early 20’s. Now, he (writes(?), posts content on ‘social media’ like Twitter and edits ‘his own Wikipedia listing’. He is also the subject of $50 million defamation lawsuits. - (Good research, good sources and good work, AP!)

Therefore, the only conclusions we can come to, from this “non-Entertainment” story is:

Once again, the show ‘producers’ are setting up individuals and then, the ‘media’ are continually distorting and sensationalizing their responses.

Worse yet, is to dramatize restraint from a response as ‘guilt by association’. The formerly ‘gray’ areas of ambivalence and past relationships are the new resource to be exploited and all subject to cancellation.

We ALL don’t really care about this one or, any show’s status, hiatus and/or, the ideologies of the specific ‘talking heads’. (No offense intended to David Byrne, Chris Frantz, Tina Weymouth, and Jerry Harrison.)

*We’re here looking for ‘Entertainment’ and related content, NOT controversy.** *(We get enough of that in the other ‘sections’.)

What the first posters are implying is a well-known and completely understood analogy. (Your interpretation of the word “magic” is Your business and was never added into the conversation until You added it.)

Here’s our understanding of those past events and how the ‘lessons learned’ could possibly relate to today’s search for ‘Entertainment’, regardless of the need ‘for some’ to try to inject their own ideologies for apparently, self serving and selfish reasons.

- (paraphrased) - “The ‘Salem witch trials’ and subsequent executions, (a real event) came about as the result of: church politics and family feuds. It was all started from the ‘finger pointing’ and hysterical rants of children and ‘immature minds’, making things up to ‘entertain’ themselves, further exacerbated by the adults that chose to believe(?) them, using the situations to further their own ‘ideological and political’ stances. This could only happen in a ‘vacuum of authority’ that the elders had created to control the population.” - Please do your own search for more information.

To conclude our clarifications to your questions, we have our own: Only @LazarusKnows why he/she/they are routinely on one of these ‘hunts’ within these daily threads throughout all sections of the news. So, then without going any further after individual posters and their ‘choice’ of analogies: What’s Your ‘contribution’ to the topic listed in the above article: alleged ‘racism’ talk?

Those are the only 'Talking Heads' that I care about or really even want to see on a video screen. I don't like these chumps yakkng about what they think on this or that, much of it just jibber-jabber by unprofessional idiots and much of the 'interviews' and stories are set up anyway.

I don't like talk TV, I don't like talk radio. The only 'Rush' I ever cared about is a three man Canadian band.

BigYen  Reports claim that she has called an Asian colleague "slanty-eyed" and frequently mouthed off against gay colleagues, which if true, makes her for most of us someone to avoid.

If these allegations are true then not only would I avoid such a person but it leads to another question. Her husband Ozzy is a rock'n'roll giant and as such I'm sure he has quite a number of fans in the Orient - particularly Japan, Thailand, more. Does he refer to such people as "slanty-eyed" or other supid epithets? As for gays, rock'n'roll always has had them. Rock'n'roll is universal, it transcends all boundaries and if Sharon is popping off her chops with that hate crap then it sure doesn't make Ozzy look good, does it?

What’s her stance on bats I wonder ?

We understand your 2nd para of observations @BigYen 12:20pm but can’ t support Your ‘alleged’ sources and ambiguous claims of ‘Reports’ in the 1st para: - ”*According to reports**, ...and not just,... she is, or can be, ... Reports claim... and frequently,... which if true, makes ...” *

- Calling out someone for alleged ‘racism’ has to be supported with facts, not feelings. Someone just tried to ‘tag’ it on to today’s Ariana Grande ‘Entertainment’ story when it was not even an issue there.

We’ve established Yashar is a ‘hack writer’. He’s definitely not a ‘journalist’ just because some source of popular media called him an ‘influencer’ of young people. There can also be incorrect or maliciously wrongful influence.

So, we really have to vigilant that about the words we use and that we didn’t slander or libel another person.

Can you provide a link or witness testimonies? If not, it’s all just ‘hearsay’ and shouldn’t be repeated until established.

Both her and her dim-witted daughter Kelly have a history of being racist:

Sharon said what she meant and it is what it is Racist!!!

So, @kaimycahl 9:34p - Exactly, ‘what’ did she say? We still can’t see ‘IT’ here, other than arguing with her cast mates and her ‘guilt by association’. Please, ‘spell it out’.

Over all the years this show has been on, I may have seen 5 minutes total. This is a woman's show. It is also clear that Sharon Osbourne is on the show to prevent it from being really, really, boring. CBS got more excitement than they wanted, this time.

Being on TV is becoming like being a politician. You can't say anything without careful thought about offending someone. And someone will always be offended.

I'd suggest that The Talk add fart cushions for each seat, so they remember their show isn't supposed to be so serious all the time. The lifetime experiences for someone in their 50s, black raised in Arkansas and someone else in their late-60s (she's 68), white, raised in London will have different views.

They are very different people.

I don't like Sharon Osbourne, or her husband, or her awful children, and I can't image that anyone who chooses to be a friend of Piers Morgan could ever be a friend of mine. According to reports, and not just Yashar Ali's, she is, or can be, an abrasive and unpleasant person, which to me is the way she's always come across when I've ever been unfortunate enough to see her on TV. Reports claim that she has called an Asian colleague "slanty-eyed" and frequently mouthed off against gay colleagues, which if true, makes her for most of us someone to avoid.

Apparently, you never watched “the View.” I don’t have a problem with either or Piers, I agree with him on many of these issues except for the ALLEGED “slanty-eyed” comment which is racist and inappropriate.
