I understand where both rl and charles are coming from. Here is how i look at it, phil is actually a reallys mart individual and knows exactly what he is doing. "I never saw it". He didnt say it didnt happen, that he agrees with it or not, he gave a round about answer to a question, very political answer. As far asThe comment on sins, and he said all of them listed int he bible, he simply quoted scripture. Very very smart in my opinion, and i believe it was set up for it all to fall this way to boost ratings and drive support for the show.
Now that being said, if i own a company that sells an item, lets say a reality show, im going to do my dangdest to make sure the employees that work for me dont screw up my product. This really has nothing to do with the 1st amendment or the crl. Your boss wouldnt let you screw up his product and cost him millions, hed can you and find someone that could do your job the way he wanted it done.
But again i think it was all a ploy and we all did exactly what a and e wanted us too Drive the ratings.
I thought the same thing now that Phil came out in July saying he was getting out...but that scheme might just backfire on A&E if that was the plan...but If Phil is off the show I will quit watching because he is the reason I watch it...
