A & E LIFTS PHIL ROBERTSON'S SUSPENSION FROM DUCK DYNASTYAccording to People's TV WATCH, Duck Dynasty will resume filming in the new year. In a statement released Friday from A&E, it will include "the entire Robertson family," which includes the ever-controversial Phil Robertson.
A&E Networks had previously suspended Robertson after his interview with GQ magazine expressing his anti-gay beliefs. A&E's statement continues: "While Phil's comments made in the interview reflect his personal views based on his own beliefs, and his own personal journey, he and his family have publicly stated they regret the 'coarse language' he used and the misinterpretation of his core beliefs based only on the article," the statement continued. "He also made it clear he would 'never incite or encourage hate.'"
The network also says it will air PSAs "promoting unity, tolerance and acceptance among all people."
i.e., A & E has no moral principles whatsoever, and they're just lipping empty PC language to appease all sides, as they continue to cash in on the program's success.
Gee, who would have seen this coming?
What a joke. They've been running marathons of episodes with Phil Robertson the whole time this controversy has been unfolding. No principle involved here toward any side from A & E, just posturing, appeasement, and cashing in.
