1. Summary of the results
The claim that Obama got Roseanne Barr fired is not supported by the analyses provided [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]. According to the analyses, Roseanne Barr's show was canceled by ABC after she posted a racist tweet comparing Valerie Jarrett, an Obama aide, to an ape [1] [2] [3]. The cancellation of the show was a result of the backlash and criticism that followed the tweet [1] [4] [2]. None of the sources suggest that Obama was directly involved in the cancellation decision [5] [6] [2]. The key points from the analyses are:
- Roseanne Barr apologized for her tweet comparing Valerie Jarrett to an ape [1]
- ABC canceled the show 'Roseanne' after Roseanne Barr's racist tweets [2] [5] [6]
- There is no evidence to suggest that Obama was directly involved in the cancellation decision [3] [1] [5]
2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

- The show's cancellation was not solely due to Roseanne Barr's tweet, but also due to the controversy surrounding the show [4]
- ABC's decision to cancel the show was likely influenced by the negative publicity and the potential harm to the network's reputation [6]
3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement
The original statement may be misleading or biased as it implies that Obama was directly responsible for Roseanne Barr's firing [1]. The analyses suggest that this is not the case, and that the cancellation of the show was a result of Roseanne Barr's actions and the subsequent backlash [2] [3]. The potential beneficiaries of this framing are:
