Andrew Sullivan: ‘A&E Cannot Bear Very Much Reality’ By Charles C. W. Cooke December 19, 2013 4:58 PM Andrew Sullivan nails it: Robertson is a character in a reality show. He’s not a spokesman for A&E any more than some soul-sucking social x-ray from the Real Housewives series is a spokeswoman for Bravo. Is he being fired for being out of character? Nah. He’s being fired for staying in character – a character A&E have nurtured and promoted and benefited from. Turning around and demanding a Duck Dynasty star suddenly become the equivalent of a Rachel Maddow guest is preposterous and unfair. Bingo! Robertson is not exactly the editor of the New York Times. I’m beginning to wonder if this one was a bridge too far. Now we have Camille Paglia, Andrew Sullivan, Change.org, TMZ, contributors to TIME, and a veritable host of others all coming out against. Inflection point? Let’s hope so.
