Samantha Bee May Have To Change Name to Samantha Eff

It looks like the Samantha Bee show is failing.  Last night, the supposed comedian issued an angry apology on air concerning her disgusting remarks on last week's show about Ivanka Trump.  The so-called apology was much like the one she had put forward when things got really toxic for her during the prior week.  Bee's problem, however, is that advertisers are dropping her show.  There were only about 25% as many ads as the prior week, and many of them came from companies that are part of the corporate group that owns the cable network on which Bee appears.  The final ratings aren't in yet, so we can't compare them, but losing so many advertisers is a bad sign.

Bee may yet survive, but her odds for doing so are falling fast.
