Was Roseanne's show cancelled because of Senior Vice President of Programming Muthafa Ka'plêse at ABC? No, that's not true and he also wasn't a member of "Obama's Indonesian Choom Gang", mainly because he doesn't exist. Source of the fake news was a satirical meme:
It originated from a post published on May 31, 2018 on a Facebook page named "America's Last Line Of Defense (archived here) which was captioned:
GO TO FOX ROSEANNE!!!
The meme itself read:
This is Mutafa Ka'plêse, Senior Vice President of Programming at ABC. He is the one who made the decision to cancel "Roseanne". He's also a member of Barack "Barry Sotero" Obama's Indonesian Choom Gang. COINCIDENCE?
No Senior Vice President of Programming is listed on the page with ABC's executives (there are VP's of specific kinds of programming though) and nobody by that name appears either.
That's because the name is a simple pun on "M*therf*cker Please" and the about page of the Facebook page spreading the meme reads like this:
