ABC set to dial back political humor from pro-Trump 'Roseanne' next season

• http://www.foxnews.com

ABC's "Roseanne" is one of the few popular television programs to feature a pro-Trump character, but conservatives shouldn't get used to seeing similar ideology on the sitcom for much longer.

ABC entertainment president Channing Dungey put the kibosh on "Roseanne" remaining political in the second season – apparently ditching the strategy the network touted only two months ago.

Dungey said that the show will lean away from politics next season during a conference call with reporters as part of the network's upfront presentation. Upon learning the news, conservative media icon Matt Drudge tweeted, "Corporate cannibals stripping Roseanne of her fun."
