A&E screwed up. They coulda just said Phil's views aren't the same as ours and forgot about it. They'll be the big losers.

>> However, in the Free Market, his boss can say, "You are costing me viewers and advertisers; yer fired." Yes, the employer can and they did. And it totally backfired. People are fed up with political correctness. AETN apparently didn't realize WHY the audience was flocking to its biggest show ever and how pissed they were going to be about the attack on Robertson. While Robertson's remarks were very much a product of his hard right religious perspective, I have taken great pleasure in watching AETN scramble to figure out how to deal with its self-inflicted wound.
