"Anti-Bush Performer Janeane Garofalo Loses TV Show"

World Entertainment News Network 6/10/2003

ABC has dumped a new sitcom by comic Janeane Garofalo from its line-up
next
season - prompting speculation the move was a result of her anti-Bush
politics.

"Reality Bites" star Janeane has received hate mail because of her
ferocious
anti-war stance and is certain her political views led to the axing of
plans
to screen her show "Slice 'O Life."

A source says ABC is "a network bowing to the perceived power of the
Bush
administration.

"Janeane is convinced her politics and all the hate mail the
right-wing
lobby stirred up during the war is behind all this."

An ABC spokesman says the decision to not continue the show was made
independent to the anti-war furore.
