TBS, Under Pressure From One of Its Stars, Apologizes for Controversial Video

Jul 26, 2016  •  Post A Comment

TBS issued an apology this morning for a video that sparked a backlash — including a scolding from one of the cable channel’s own stars.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Samantha Bee, whose TBS show “Full Frontal with Samantha Bee” is the only late-night talk show hosted by a woman, told TBS in a tweet to “delete your account” after the network posted a video likening Hillary Clinton’s laugh to that of wild hyenas.

Bee quickly deleted her tweet, indicating she had second thoughts about it. But TBS issued an apology this morning, saying in a statement: “This post was obviously a poor attempt at humor and has been taken down. Moving forward we’ll leave political satire to professionals like Samantha Bee.”

The 24-second video posted by TBS was reportedly titled “Hillary Clinton’s Call of the Wild,” and interspersed a laughing Clinton with footage of a pack of wild hyenas making cackling sounds, THR notes.

It’s only funny if it’s not about a Liberal candidate The article by Heckler which is owned by TBS deleted the tweet almost immediately but felt it was still OK to post Donald Trump hang around a urinal. If you don’t think the media is controlled by the left you’re not paying attention Shame on you spineless coward

  3. Failing a drug test is usually an embarrassing and even dreadful circumstance for most people. The reality is, drug testing regardless if random or announced is a common practice in our society. This widespread procedure can often lead to the inevitable disclosure of certain private facets of alternative lifestyles. Individuals who tend to live an alternative lifestyle sometimes require fail proof drug testing solutions in order to keep their chosen lifestyle secret and passing random drug tests are not difficult at all plus the methods used certainly will work when performed correctly.
