This article is spot on regarding the entertainment business and the motivations of many in "reality television."  This is nothing new.

CBS, in response to it being described as the "Country Broadcast System" over reacted by conducting a "rural purge" in the early 70s.  This is just a new twist on that.

Phil Robertson should tell A&E to go duck themselves.  What he said was his opinion, and definitely not hate.  A&E should cut them loose and see what happens. Maybe Morrissey will come do a reality show with A&E on hunting for his sexual orientation.  Maybe they can get George Takei in on it too (I like George, I just threw that out there because he recently commented).

And since it is the holidays and I am a giver: Bonus Rule 5
