George Clooney, Katy Perry, Leonardo DiCaprio, Hollywood Studios Sign Letter Opposing Voter Integrity Laws
A slew of left-wing Hollywood celebrities and studios, including Netflix and ViacomCBS, have signed an open letter published Wednesday protesting "discriminatory" voter integrity laws that they believe will be used to restrict voter access.
Among the signatories are George Clooney, Leonardo DiCaprio, Joaquin Phoenix, Katy Perry, Samuel L. Jackson, Amy Schumer, Mark Ruffalo, and Star Wars: The Force Awakens director J.J. Abrams.
Studios that added their names to the letter include Netflix and ViacomCBS, as well as the Hollywood talent agencies CAA and UTA.
As Breitbart News reported, hundreds of corporations have signed the open letter, which appeared Wednesday in advertisements in the New York Times and Washington Post. The effort was spearheaded by former American Express chief executive Kenneth Chenault and Merck chief executive Kenneth Frazier, both of whom recently led a group of black business leaders urging corporations to take a stand against election integrity efforts.
While the letter doesn't mention specific states, the ads appear to be referring to Georgia's new voter integrity law as well as similar bills currently under consideration in other states.
"We stand for democracy," the open letter states. "A beautifully American idea, but a reality denied to many for much of this nation's history. As Americans, we know that in our democracy we should not expect to agree on everything."
"For American democracy to work for any of us, we must ensure the right to vote for all of us. We all should feel a responsibility to defend the right to vote and to oppose any discriminatory legislation or measures that restrict or prevent any eligible voter from having an equal and fair opportunity to cast a ballot."
Among the letter's corporate signatories are Bank of America, Amazon, Twitter, General Motors, Starbucks, Synchrony, Nordstrom, PayPal, Peloton, Pinterest, United Airlines, and Under Armour.
Other Hollywood elites who signed the letter include David Geffen, George Lucas, Shonda Rhimes, Shari Redstone, and Channing Dungey.
Numerous Hollywood celebrities have denounced Georgia's voter integrity law as racist and a form of "voter suppression." The Will Smith slavery drama Emancipation is the first major Hollywood production to boycott the state in protest of the law.
Republicans leaders have argued the law is necessary to prevent voter fraud and other illegal activities.

Peter Roth To Step Down As Warner Bros. TV Group Chairman After 22 Years At The Helm Of the TV Studio
Roth was upped to his current role as Chairman of the Warner Bros. Television Group in February when he signed a one-year extension to his most recent contract which was up in summer 2020. That was envisioned as the final chapter in Roth's Warner Bros. TV tenure, whose course was changed dramatically when, a month after Roth re-upped his deal, the coronavirus pandemic hit, halting production and all other essential Hollywood activities, like in-person meetings, lunches, premieres and press junkets.

Interesting that Channing Dungey doesn't sound like she's leaving for a new job. Her legacy will be the woman who fired Roseanne from her own show.
In a statement, Dungey said she could have called ABC home for many more years but wants to tackle new, unspecified challenges.
Disney CEO Bob Iger lauded Dungey for her 'curiosity, passion and creativity' and predicted she will be successful at whatever she chooses to pursue.

Q Research General #4379: We Are With You Edition
https://www.breitbart.com/big-hollywood/2018/10/12/abc-executives-regret-firing-roseanne-fear-connors-spin-off-series-will-flop/
Executives at ABC now believe that their decision to fire Roseanne Barr from their revival of Roseanne was a mistake and the network's spin-off series The Conners may flop, according to a report from Mail Online.
Two senior executives at the network told the outlet that ABC President Channing Dungey's decision to immediately fire the actress and cancel her show after she made racially charged comments about former Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett was a "knee-jerk" decision that they would later regret.
"We didn't think it through properly. What Roseanne did was wrong but we shouldn't have rushed to fire her. It was almost a knee-jerk reaction by Ben [Sherwood] and Channing [Dungey] who should have launched an investigation," one insider reportedly said. "This would have given them more time to listen to the public, advertisers and cast members to determine the best decision."
Barr compared Jarrett to if the 'Muslim brotherhood & Planet of the Apes had a baby," comments that were condemned by Dungey as "abhorrent, repugnant and inconsistent with our values." Yet one insider apparently suggested that ABC should instead have temporarily suspended her before making a final decision.
"They could've suspended her from the first few episodes without pay and had her return later on in the season," the source explained. "I mean the season finale saw Roseanne going to the hospital for knee surgery. While they worked out her fate, her character could have faced serious complications and fought for her life, while simultaneously making Roseanne fight for her career with a national apology tour. "
"The morning the racist tweet scandal blew up, Roseanne offered to publicly apologize and do the rounds of every show but Ben and Channing weren't having any of that and wanted her gone," they continued. "Why not have her front a PSA for the network on racism and cyberbullying?"
Since Barr's firing, the network has produced The Conners, a spinoff of Roseanne that premieres next week. However, another senior insider revealed to Mail Online that internal fears are that the new show will flop because of people's loyalty to Barr and her character.
"When we greenlit The Conners we thought that the public would tune in to see the family return but what we've discovered is that people want Roseanne - they don't want the family by themselves," they explained.
"The marketing and publicity teams are horrified as no matter what promotional material is released - and let's be honest it's been limited for a show that launches next Tuesday - Roseanne's fans come out in force stating that they won't watch the show."
"The comments on social media tend to skew in favor of Roseanne and slam The Conners and the cast members who came back," they added. "Even dedicated fans of the Conner family feel conflicted about supporting a show that so swiftly eliminated the show's matriarch and creator."
Last month, Barr revealed that the network plans to kill her character off with an opioid overdose, after her character ended the last season revealing an addiction to painkillers.
That same source added that some figures within the company believe the show will attract less than a quarter of the viewership of Roseanne, a scenario that would leave Dungey with "many questions to answer."
"In the end, the ratings are all that matter - and there are many people at Disney and ABC who are worried that firing Roseanne will see their Tuesday night ratings drop substantially," they continued. "And should The Conners flop, Channing and her team will have many questions to answer. The whisper across ABC is that they will not even be a quarter of what Roseanne achieved last season."
In July, Barr accused ABC of firing her because of her support for Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential election, a position she said was "not allowed in Hollywood."

Two senior executives have told DailyMailTV that the network fears it has angered fans by firing Barr, 65, and that the new show will not be as well-received

Barr was fired despite the show's successful reboot after making what was perceived as a racist comment about Valerie Jarrett in May
Top ABC brass may have acted too swiftly by pulling the plug on Roseanne - and they now fear the show's replacement spin-off will flop without its star.
Two senior executives at the network have told DailyMailTV that firing the actress was a 'knee-jerk' reaction by ABC's president and admitted that temporarily suspending Barr may have been a wiser decision.
'We didn't think it through properly. What Roseanne did was wrong but we shouldn't have rushed to fire her. It was almost a knee-jerk reaction by Ben [Sherwood] and Channing [Dungey] who should have launched an investigation,' one insider said.
'This would have given them more time to listen to the public, advertisers and cast members to determine the best decision.'
The highly-anticipated reboot of the popular 90s sitcom was axed in May, just three months into its return after Barr, 65, made a racist tweet about former Obama aide Valerie Jarrett.

Q Research General #2004: Mistake or On Purpose Edition
Here's how we can help Rosanne fight.
She should sue ABC for racial discrimination for her firing.
The president of ABC, Channing Dungey, who's a black woman, fired her, and made this comment: "Roseanne's Twitter statement is abhorrent, repugnant and inconsistent with our values, and we have decided to cancel her show."
Wand Sykes, also a black woman, called trump an "Orangutan" and a "confirmed white supremacist," as seen in the video below:
https://youtu.be/XYMy4Cy0_TE
So, Channing Dungey finds it abhorrent for a white woman to compare a "black" woman to an ape or muslim brotherhood, but a black woman calls a white man a literal orangutan and white supremacist.

Iger apologized and said he would not tolerate those kinds of comments made by Barr, Jarrett said.
"He wanted me to know before he made it public that he was canceling the show," Jarrett said during the show, according to an early transcript released to EW.

Q Research General #1983: Our Republic
"As Paul Lee Era Ends at ABC, Channing Dungey Steps Into a No-Win Job" reads the pragmatic headline in the Hollywood Reporter's analysis of the major shake-up at ABC that occurred Wednesday. Pragmatic, because tenures in these jobs can be short, and victories elusive. You can't please everyone all the time, but the job of entertainment president demands that you please everybody all the time.
But a "no win?" In fact, Dungey, 46, becomes the first African-American in TV history to run one of the major broadcast entertainment divisions. That fact alone is hugely important, but why exactly? After all, ABC already had (and has) primetime's most diverse slate under her predecessor, Paul Lee, while Thursdays are the exclusive domain of one of TV's most prolific and successful African-American producers, Shonda Rhimes. Viola Davis – star of an ABC Shondaland series – became the first African-American woman in history to win an Emmy for best actress in a drama just last September.
But diversity – on-screen and off – very much remains a seething, divisive issue in Hollywood. Dungey's appointment comes just 10 days before the arrival of one of the most contentious and visible of those issues, the Oscars – nominating a slate of only white actors for the second year in a row. As carriage network, ABC is closely, intimately, associated with the world's most important and popular awards show (and the Oscars are a show). The Motion Picture Academy also now has a president, Cheryl Boone Isaacs, who is African-American – charged with boosting diversity in the Academy and among nominees. As Isaacs has learned, change doesn't happen overnight.

ABC Entertainment President Channing Dungey told me last week the show has no plans to revisit its Trumpian conflicts next season. "I think [the show's writers] are going to continue on the path that they were on toward the latter part of this season, which is away from politics and more focused on family," she said during a conference call, essentially acknowledging the bait and switch in a torrent of TV executive speak.
