My husband has turned Hallmark OFF! We have had to watch it every night probably since last spring, tired of all the Building Alaska, Colorado, Wyoming, Montana.... he has to have the TV on for “noise”, I’d just as soon turn it off. So we watched them build that dang cabin out in the wilds of Alaska again last night..... Hallmark is over at our house.

It’s Hallmark’s own fault, they showed weakness. This pack of jackals attack at any sigh of weakness, the CEO should be fired.

So the one channel on television that is not polluted to the gills w/ insipid virtue signaling must be forced into compliance.

Well, they can get it, but they can’t make people watch.

One sees what appears to be homos in advertisements every now and then but it is the inter-racial thing which has gone hog wild.

It seems like every large extended family has some Blacks. Most Grandparents have a Black Grandchild etc. It is getting to be ridiculous.

Apparently testicular fortitude is no longer de rigeur for CEOs.

Pity.

I don’t know her, but let her keep walking.

All hiring should be from the best for that particular job. Diversity should play no role on hiring. However, the affirmative action laws do prevent that to some degree.

Of course with the new “woke” Hallmark, they’ll hire her with a huge apology.

Some people use TV as an escape from reality, so the shows and commercials will not show reality....

I guess Ms. Burton's version of God's law is edited to allow same-sex marriages.

How wrong can she get? Same-sex marriage may be LEGAL but it will NEVER, EVER, ever be right or moral. THAT is God's law and she can take it up with HIM when she finally passes on.

I need to tell my wife about this. She loves the channel but is turned off by “diverse casting.” She will stop watching the channel.

Like a plague of locusts, the leftists descend upon a good wholesome channel, destroy what is good about it, and move on to the next thing. Eventually, nothing is left.
