That's pretty much standard for most programs.
I would think it appropriate for A&E to post a statement specifically disagreeing with Phil and stating why they disagree.
It's fairly obvious there needs to be a line drawn somewhere. I think Bashir crossed it and should have been fired, even though I agree with his basic point about slavery as a metaphor being used inappropriately.
I don't think Robertson did cross this line. Nothing he said implied the need for government or personal violent action against gays or anybody else. He merely stated his own opinion about what constitutes sin when asked.
Agreed, Bashir was very vile etc
It’s this PC BS that has kept Disney from putting Song of the South on DVD...
