ABC is sending a really messed up message: It’s okay to give face time to a convicted batterer, but a same-sex kiss and racy dancing between men is offensive.

Good Morning America dumped Adam Lambert the morning after his appearance on the American Music Awards, but plan to air an interview with Chris Brown who was convicted of felony assault on his then girlfriend singer Rhianna. Slap-happy Brown’s interview was reportedly booked before Lambert got the un-vite, and details of him hitting the stage performing live has yet to be finalized.

A source at ABC told the New York Post than Lambert

was not canceled over a gay kiss. He showed himself to be unpredictable on live TV.

And Chris Brown is only unpredictable around Rhianna.
