Full Title: EXCLUSIVE - 'Hung out to dry': Duck Dynasty star and family hit out at A&E for letting his controversial interview go public and for suspending him for homophobic comments
Duck Dynasty star Phil Robertson and his family believe they have been hung out to dry by TV network A&E after he was suspended for homophobic comments made in a magazine interview, MailOnline can reveal.
Sources within the close-knit Louisiana clan say they are convinced A&E are manipulating the controversial situation to bring them and particularly Robertson back into line after Television executives grew tired of the family pushing their deeply-held, Christian beliefs.
They also think the network could have done something to stop the controversial GQ article being made public, because an A&E representative was present during the interview with patriarch, Roberston, 67.

Do you listen to the radio??? Do you get internet service??? Do you talk to people who do???
Then whether you like it or not, with or without TV, you still get insulted and lied to.

You are right...A&E IS making a killing on the sales of DD merchandise...that is why people are being encouraged to purchase items from Dock Commander, NOT DD. Canceling cable is the only OTHER way to directly affect A&E’s bottom line.
Spot on...I think this is exactly what happened.
The only time that I'm on FR everyday is when I work on the FReepathon.
Again, regardless of my internet usage I WILL continue to criticize libs and their control of television.
There was nothing “homophobic” in what he said. Nothing at all.
No radio. My ONLY news source is FR.
“All he had to do was say as a Christian he believes homosexuality to be a sin.”
He did, with nothing more than explaining why he believes it in the simplest clearest terms. Perfectly reasonable. They asked, he answered.
Yup. Let’s laugh AT these Louisiana backwoods rednecks.
It was a plan that backfired.
Maybe they are, but whether they keep the show or not, any DD merchandise sales will always benefit them
How many people know the difference between Duck Dynast and Duck Commander.
My question is not A&E benefiting, but how does canceling my cable hurt them? I don’t watch reality TV and I never watch anything on A&E, so canceling my cable sends what message?
I do not watch Duck Dynasty, but I agree with everything Phil said.
Why? Vote with your wallet already. I did.
Cancelling cable sends a message to them. Whether you use A&E or not they get paid.
Here is a hand.
Actually it has been over 6 years since I stopped receiving ANY outside TV in my home. The vast majority of it is trash and I do not need it in my home.
I decide what comes in. And by cancelling outside TV, I also do not support the evil that is presented as ‘modern programming’.
Wow. Such a reply is worthy of DU.
The man speaks truth and it seems to have offended, rendering the one offended unable to form any coherent thought beyond a basic attempt to silence the one speaking that truth.
And therein lies the rub.
and you haven't been insulted on this thread???? What do you call it???
I call it good old fashioned disagreement.:-)
Sorry, I stand with Phil over what liberals are doing to our society and forcing on Christians.
It is time to choose, to make a stand. Do we as a people allow these evil people suppress the 'Bible', God and his followers or stand up and say we have had enough of God being silenced.
Same thing as happened with All In The Family. Idiots in Hollywood will never learn.
