This doesn't appear to be orchestrated to me. I think A&E was stunned by the adverse reaction. I knew that the "political correctness" movement was going to overreach one of these days. The hateful and intolerant forces of political correctness met their Waterloo when they decided to tangle with the Robertsons.

Maybe the days of allowing the tail to wag the dog are finally coming to an end.

"I’m still wondering if this was all a scam to boost ratings. I do not trust this media today as far as I can throw it."

I seriously doubt that. I don't watch the show, but it's my impression that the family lives its Christian beliefs and would not participate in such a deception.

You may see A&E doing pro gay PSA’s, but I doubt you will see the Robertson family doing them. The closest thing to that would be the family saying we must love one another....
That’s about it....You wont see any network getting them to say something which they don’t believe in....

The Roberson clan should still walk. They still have the upper hand...

They should walk, and they should offer a parting statement:

"We would like to thank the millions of our fans for their kind messages of agreement and support regarding our show and our recent disagreement with A&E.

This false controversy, perpetrated in its entirety by GLAAD, has revealed the depraved positions and bad decision making on the part of the hosting network, which, as you know, starkly contradict our deeply held religious faith.

We, the Robertsons, do not accept the fact that A&E chooses to deliberately insult the vast majority of the American viewing public, and sides instead with these filthy unapologetic child molesters.

Therefore, we will be looking forward to seeing you all soon with a new show and from a different venue.

Once again, many thanks to all of you.

The Robertsons."

And that's exactly what they mean, not "we must pork each other"

That's just another perverted word definition, degrading the English language.

Longmire is a crime drama television series.

I AM THE MOTHER OF A MURDERED CHILD, such programs bring on nightmares. So I refuse to watch any of them. Even the fist 15 mins of the news is banned in this house as it is all the murders that happened in Memphis yesterday.

It is hard enough getting through those special days and from Thanksgiving on through Christmas, is the worst time of the year for me. Then you hit April and it starts over again, year after year.

And the stupid liberal shrinks who think they know how long grief should last, can stop pitching their BS on the public and me you will get over it, is not viable.

Grief has it’s own time table.

You have a copy of their contract?
