Hehe you do realize Phil won this right?
He didn’t apologize for one. single. thing.
In fact last Sunday he doubled down on his remarks
at his church. And A&E is putting him back on.
They had NO choice.
He didn’t go on an apology tour. He didn’t
seek out Gay activists to work with.
This statement from A&E is mere window dressing.
Nothing will change.
According to the window dressing, the family will now be promoting “tolerance” and A&E will run PSA’s across their platform (i.e. during the show) promoting sexual deviants.
And no sensitivity training. Huzzah!
People are giving A&E way too much credit for creating this ratings “ploy”. It was no such thing. Just like Cracker Barrel, the A&E Network executive team wrongly listened to their PR idiots who thought Phil’s UN-PC comments would send their progressive consumers scrambling for an alternative. Both companies were dead wrong, and the backlash threatened to kill their golden DUCK.
I suspect both company’s executives were subjected to a good old, “Come to Jesus” by their major stock holders, and were reminded that profits far out-weighed listening to a vocal, but miniscule part of the population......especially when the profits are insane. Recent history dictates that PC normally wins out in this twisted world, but the silent majority is finally starting to get over their laryngitis.
