Last month, comedian Samantha Bee used a vulgarity to describe Ivanka Trump on her TBS show. It was bleeped on air, but ran online, and set off a scramble inside Time Warner Inc., the network’s parent company. Ms. Bee apologized. The comedian’s defenders argued that stars on sister channel HBO get to cross lines all the time, people familiar with the matter said. In the end, Ms. Bee wasn’t suspended.
